Broccoli and Cauliflower Bites with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
Ingredients
- About 1 lb broccoli and cauliflower florets and stems
- 1 small carrot
- 1 small sweet potato (mashed)
- 1 cup cooked brown rice or sushi rice
- 1 cup rice flour (plus more for coating)
- 4 tablespoons tapioca starch or arrowroot starch
- 2 teaspoons salt
- A handful of cilantro (chopped)
- Oil for pan-frying
- Thai sweet chili sauce with lime juice
Preparation
Bring a pot of water to boil, blanch broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots until fully cooked for a few minutes, then drain veggies well and finely chop using a hand pull processor or pulse with a food processor.
Place all chopped veggies in a big bowl, add mashed sweet potatoes, brown rice, salt, flours, and mix until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more rice flour, 2 tablespoons at a time. Form mixture into small patties and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Rub more rice flour or starch to both sides of each patty. In a heated non-stick pan with 3 tablespoons oil, cook patties until golden brown on each side, adjusting oil based on the pan's size. Serve with Thai sweet chili sauce.
