Ingredient Notes

• Rice: Short-grain rice, like sushi rice, works best for binding, but you can also use jasmine or basmati rice.
• Chili Oil: Adds a spicy depth to the rice. Adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
• Rice Vinegar: Balances the heat from the chili oil with a subtle tang.
• Avocado: Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture.
• Eggs: Fried eggs add richness, but poached eggs work just as well if you prefer a runny yolk.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Crispy Rice Waffles:

• Cooked rice (short-grain works best for binding)
• Chili oil and rice vinegar for a spicy, tangy kick

For the Toppings:

• Smashed avocado seasoned with salt and pepper
• A perfectly fried egg
• Optional garnishes: sesame seeds and sriracha for added texture and spice

How to Make Crispy Rice Waffles with Smashed Avocado and Egg

Step 1: Prepare the Rice Mixture

In a medium bowl, combine cooked rice with chili oil and rice vinegar. This mixture not only binds the rice together but also infuses it with bold flavors. Mix thoroughly to ensure every grain is coated.

Step 2: Make the Waffles

• Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
• Scoop half the rice mixture into the center of the waffle iron. Press firmly to flatten and spread it out evenly.
• Cook for 5–7 minutes until the waffle turns golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture for the second waffle.

Step 3: Assemble the Waffles

• Spread the smashed avocado generously over the crispy rice waffles. The creamy texture of the avocado contrasts beautifully with the crispiness of the waffle.
• Top each waffle with a fried egg for a protein boost and an irresistible gooey yolk.

Step 4: Add Toppings

• Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for a nutty crunch.
• Drizzle sriracha for a spicy kick, or adjust to your heat tolerance.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately while the waffles are warm and crispy. Pair with your favorite hot sauce or a refreshing side salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

1. Firm Press: Ensure you press the rice mixture firmly into the waffle iron for compact, crispy waffles that don’t fall apart.
2. Don’t Rush: Let the waffles cook thoroughly to achieve that golden, crispy exterior.
3. Toppings Are Key: Don’t skip the sesame seeds and sriracha—they take the dish from good to great!

Serving Suggestions

• Pair these waffles with a side of arugula salad dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
• Add a protein boost with smoked salmon or crispy bacon.
• Turn it into a sharing platter by serving mini versions with various toppings.

FAQs

1. Can I use leftover rice for this recipe?
Absolutely! Leftover rice works perfectly and is a great way to reduce food waste.

2. What can I use instead of chili oil?
If you’re not a fan of spice, substitute chili oil with sesame oil for a nutty, aromatic flavor.

3. Can I make these waffles ahead of time?
While they’re best enjoyed fresh, you can make the waffles in advance and reheat them in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
