Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the 2 cups cooked rice, 1 beaten egg, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix until the rice is evenly coated.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick, pressing firmly so they hold together.
Step 3
Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Place the patties in the skillet without crowding. Cook until the bottom is deep golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 5
Carefully flip each patty and cook the other side until golden and crisp, another 4-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Step 6
Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped scallions before serving.
