Mr. Norseman made these cakes to use up some leftover rice awhile back. We had invited some friends for supper, made rice, and they brought more rice! There were leftovers for days. These little cakes are tasty and packed with protein. If you like a savory breakfast, these are perfect. Now, the amounts are my best guesses. The Norseman does not measure. Ever. As I am writing this recipe down and asking for amounts, he exclaims, “I am an artist! You can’t get people to paint the Mona Lisa just by giving them instructions!” So for the rest of us non-artists, here is an actual recipe. If something is off, well, I’m no artist! Some of this you are just going to have to eyeball. This is not a recommended recipe for beginners or timid chefs.

- Oil or butter, for frying
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 heaping tbsp mayonnaise (Duke's brand)
- 1/2 tsp sriracha sauce

Instructions
- To make the cakes:

- Add the onions to the frying pan and cook until slightly caramelized.
- Add the onions and eggs to the rice mixture, and stir.
