These little patties are chock full of amazing flavor! Sweet, spicy, salty & savory goodness all in one crispy bite!
I really had a lot of fun throwing these together. I was craving peanut sauce, but decided to kick it up a notch by adding coconut and a variety of spices until I had something with exciting depths of flavor — and boy did these blow me away. Soooo good!
And, the texture is very satisfying as well! Crispy, toasty rice yumminess on the outside, and a sweet & spicy creamy coconut peanut center. Divine.
Top it off with a favorite condiment, and you will be in food bliss in no time — I promise!
