• 4 cups leftover rice (can use white, brown, wild, or other grains)
• 1-2 eggs (to bind the rice)
• 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

AND THEN CUSTOMIZE!!!

• handful of chopped chives
• basil or Thai basil
• dash of sesame oil
• Furikake
• sesame seeds (black look really dramatic)
• Try minced garlic, ginger, rosemary, sage, tarragon, olives, chorizo.

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Scoop about 1 cup or mixture onto a greased, pre-heated waffle iron. You’ll need to cook it past the “done” stage for a regular waffle. Let it get nice and golden brown, checking on it every few minutes and tapping with a fork to see if has the right crispy texture. Y ou can keep them warm in the oven as you make the rest.
