Ingredients You’ll Need:

Here’s everything you need to get started:

Step-by-Step Recipe:

1. Cook the Rice:

First, cook the rice according to the package directions. This usually involves boiling the rice in water until it’s tender and fully cooked. While the rice is cooking, you can start preparing the other ingredients.

2. Prepare the Vegetables:

While the rice is cooking, finely dice the zucchini, onion, and both the sweet and red peppers. Make sure to chop them into small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly.

3. Mix the Ingredients Together:

In a large bowl, beat the egg and add a pinch of salt. This will help to bind the ingredients together and add flavor. Stir in the chopped vegetables, making sure they are well-coated with the egg.

4. Combine with Rice and Flour:

Once the rice is cooked and slightly cooled, add it to the bowl with the egg and vegetable mixture. Then, add the 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Mix everything together thoroughly until you get a homogeneous dough. The flour will help to hold everything together, giving your mixture a nice consistency.

5. Cook the Mixture:

Heat a little vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, spoon the rice and vegetable mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula. Cook for a few minutes on each side, or until the mixture is golden brown and crispy. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet – you might need to cook in batches depending on the size of your skillet.

And there you have it! A delicious, quick, and easy meal that you can make in just 10 minutes. Serve it hot and enjoy!
