15 minThese pan-fried patties bring together chewy brown rice, soaked arame seaweed, and savory miso for umami-packed bites.
The mixture holds together beautifully when pressed firmly, creating golden-crusted rounds that pair perfectly with soup or tofu dishes.
Arame adds a subtle ocean flavor and loads of minerals without overpowering the nutty rice.
Kitchen Tips
- Press patties firmly so they don’t fall apart during cooking
- Soak arame until tender before mixing into the rice
- Use natto miso if available for authentic depth of flavor
- Cook over medium heat to crisp the outside without burning

Comments
I had a hard time getting the rice patties to stick together, so I just stirred them in the oil like fried rice. It was delicious to start with, but I added vegetarian pasta sauce with portabella mushrooms...one word mmmmmmmmm.
