Allen Lim's Rice Cakes

I've been eating these things quite a bit since I heard Magnus Backstedt talking about them while watching the ToC coverage. I picked up some Sargento parmesan straight from the cheese factory and it is awesome (award winning parmesan no less). Hmm... apparently the blocks I buy aren't on their website, and I only found an old news story regarding awards.

Anyway, here's the link to an instructional video.

Here's how I've been making them:
1 very large cup of rice (more like 1.5cups)
2 eggs
Enough Brigg's Liquid Aminos and Balsamic to make the rice mostly light brown in color.
A bit of salt and olive oil.
Grated parmesan cheese (I don't think they taste as good if you use too much).

Here's a more complete version if you dine on swine:

1 cup sushi rice
2 cups water
salt to taste
2 eggs
olive oil for scrambling the eggs
cooked bacon bits (optional)
ham diced small (optional)
balsamic vinegar or soy sauce (optional)
ground black pepper
grated parmesan cheese

Or Nutella,
Peanut butter,
Honey
