Ingredients(5)

Rice, white, long-grain, cooked50 g
Almonds, finely chopped10 g
Spinach, finely minced40 g
Egg white (as binder/structure)100 g
Coconut milk (canned, lite)15 ml

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, combine the cooked rice, minced spinach, and finely chopped almonds.

2

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites with the coconut milk until slightly frothy. Fold the rice mixture into the egg mixture to create a thick batter.

3

Heat a non-stick griddle or cast-iron pan over medium-low heat. Brush lightly with a touch of oil.

4

Spoon small dollops (about 1.5 tablespoons each) of the mixture onto the pan, shaping them into small, round mounds reminiscent of traditional Khanom Krok.

5

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the edges are golden and crispy and the centers are set but tender.

6

Serve immediately while warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra toasted almond bits for texture. The dish should smell nutty and fragrant from the coconut, with a satisfying crunch from the toasted nuts and a soft, savory interior.
