My favourite toppings for Rice Cakes!
Scroll below for recipes.
I've tried all the rice cakes there are, and truth be told...these are the ones I can eat and love and their uses. I choose 3.5 main ones. I don't brand favourite, what eve is cheapest or on sale usually.
For sweet toppings nothing beats plain boring rice cakes, or the apple and cinnamon new ones out!
I prefer the thin ones myself, i find them easier to fit in my tiny mouth and the crumble factor is less annoying.
For savory toppings the Tomato and Basil tops the charts. I'm sure the cheesy ones are better, but i cannot eat these unfortunately.
BUT, if what you are eating is salty or otherwise flavoured, or you don't feel like salt (the tomato and basil are quite salty!) then the best way to go is good old corn cakes!
I used to eat the rice AND corn cakes, only because corn tastes so great, and i had an allergic reaction to corn. For now that reaction has seemed to dissipate so I'm with the full corn, but the half half is a good compromise. I get an irritatingly burning itchy sensation in my mouth, tongue and throat for a good 2 hours. Now saying that i still will not dare touch polenta or chorizo sausage (that gave me a really scary, painful intense reaction).
What to put on top, you ask?!
Praise 97% fat free Mayo, with Tuna in old, or John West Pink Salmon, green Olives or kalmata olives, splash of lemon juice, Avocado, Mushrooms, Perino Tomatoes and some Spinach/rocket/mixed salad/alfalfa= DELISH! Anything you like really.
Mayo is sweet, I'm a sweet tooth. I love mayo with fish! I love lettuce!
Tip? I find if my topping is wet to use a lettuce leaf both below and on top, this stops the cracker from getting too soggy and falling to pieces and the top ones keep my fingers dry!
Opening a tin, splashing on some fresh vegetables, and squeezing a tube is my idea of a great, quick, healthy meal!
Alternatively you could use ham. I personally dislike it and am not in the mood for it 95% of the time. You can use chicken too, bacon, etc. My other alternative is egg. I love egg because it contains so many health benefits, i don't let the cholesterol scare me away. A, D, E, Iodine, Phosphorus, protein, lutein, glutamine and much more.
Want more of a quick snak? Rice crackers! Pick up some tomato and Basil Sakatas (my favourite flavour- they have kick according to me) and try some "yumi" Dips, my favourite is the olive (and mayo). Or try making your own dips! (I'm yet to try this, guacomole, hommus with tofutto cream cheese, or plain toffutu cream cheese, perhaps with grated frozen soy cheese for another kick!)
Tip: If you freeze soy cheese you can GRATE it! I was so excited when i discovered this!
