How to Make a Rice Burger

Rice burger buns from Just Bento

A burger without a wheat-based bun may not be a real burger, but using grilled rice patties instead of bread results in a sandwich that's delicious and safe for gluten-intolerant eaters. Maki Itoh has instructions for how to make rice burgers on her bento ideas blog Just Bento. Form rice into flat, dense patties and fry to a golden crisp. Although rice burgers and sandwiches may not catch on in the U.S., Mos Burger in Japan has a few sandwiches with rice buns on its menu.

Eh, I never understood the fuss over rice bun sandwiches. I grew up eating rice balls, and the rice burgers are pretty close. At least with Mos Burger, they never fry the outside long enough to really change the texture to something besides cooked rice (probably wouldn't turn out too well anyways...).

@bluemonq: I love rice balls! I LOVE RICE! I GO CRAZEH FOR RICE!

...Okay not that crazy. But yeah, this is like..a grilled rice ball, but not a ball.
