Craving a snack? Perhaps one of the best ways to use leftover ingredients, Vegetable Rice Cutlets can be a great snack or side dish. Plus, they can be made with a range of leftovers. They also taste great if made with fresh ingredients.

The main ingredient here is boiled rice, which can be leftover rice. You can then go on to add all sorts in veggies in it, whatever you may have lying in the fridge, really. I recommend carrots, peas, corn, french beans, and to give them that lovely red colour, beetroot!
