1. Sautéed Mushrooms
This noodles-on-rice snack is known for its simple yet tasty taste. And the secret to its delicious flavor? Sauteed mushrooms! They add an extra element of flavor and texture to your rice cake. You can substitute all kinds of mushrooms for sautéed mushrooms, but button mushrooms are the most commonly used in recipes.
2. Shredded Cheese
Cheese comes in many different forms. You can choose the kind of cheese that you want to add to your rice cakes and then add it to your rice cakes. For example, add cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, or any other kind of cheese to your rice cakes. This is a great way to make your rice cake taste more authentic.
3. Chopped Green Onions
These crunchy onion pieces are not only tasty, but also add a nice extra flavor to your rice cake. Just chop your onions into little pieces and put them on top of your rice cake. You could also use green onion tops instead of whole green onions if you don’t have any. Try adding salt and pepper to your rice cakes if you use green onions instead.
4. Ground Beef
Ground beef is also known for its savory taste, which goes well with savory toppings on your rice cakes. You can put ground beef on your rice cake in two ways: raw or cooked. You can either mix the ground beef with your other toppings or just leave it alone, but the taste will be better if you cook the meat up before adding it to your rice cake. I prefer putting uncooked ground beef into a pan, sprinkling it with salt and pepper, and then sauteing it until it’s fully cooked.
5. Ketchup
This may not sound very appetizing, but ketchup is a tasty topping. It has many different flavors that can be added to your rice cake. For example, you could choose ketchup with chili pepper or ketchup with jalapeno peppers. Do you ever get tired of the same old ketchup flavor? Spice it up with something new!
6. Sweet Meat Sauce
Sweetmeat sauce is a popular topping for many noodle dishes in Japan. It’s lovely and can be found in many different Asian grocery stores. A sweet meat sauce is usually used on udon or ramen, so it makes an excellent topping for these rice cakes. If you have some leftover sweetmeat sauce, this is a great way to put it to good use!
7. Sriracha Sauce
This sauce’s spicy, tangy, and slightly sweet taste is a big hit. It adds a nice kick to your rice cakes, leaving you craving more. You can also add sriracha sauce to your rice cake’s bottom before putting it in the oven to make it crispier.
8. Bacon Bits
This is another topping that has many different variations. You can choose how crispy you want your bacon bits and how many there should be in your rice cakes. You can also put bacon bits in your rice cakes instead of shredded cheese.
9. Sesame Seeds
These tiny grains are simply delicious! You can add them to your rice cakes as a topping or sprinkle them on top of your rice cake before you bake it. They add extra texture and taste to the finished rice cake, so try this topping out if you haven’t tried it yet!
10. Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is another topping that has many different applications. You can put it on top of your rice cakes or mix it into the rice cakes before they are baked. This will give your rice cakes an extra flavor, and you will enjoy the taste.
11. Nutella Spread
If you’re looking for a sweet snack, you might want to try this one. Nutella is the ultimate chocolate hazelnut spread, which is delicious in many ways. You can mix it with peanut butter to taste more appetizing, or go for the original and make your rice cakes savory!
12. Banana Slices
This sweet, delicious fruit is an excellent topping for many recipes. Banana makes a nice and healthy snack for anyone who wants to get their dessert fix in between meals. You can slice up your banana into pieces or leave it whole if you prefer. Either way, this excellent fruit will make your rice cake taste delicious!
13. Cinnamon
Cinnamon is one of those spices that seem to taste better when it’s cooked. Mix it into your rice cakes or sprinkle some on top and enjoy the sweet and delicious taste.
14. Spicy Mayonnaise
This spicy condiment is not only tasty and savory, but also makes an excellent topping for your rice cakes! It’s essentially mayonnaise with chili peppers mixed in, so you can choose how spicy you want it to be. For more flavor, add some ketchup to your rice cakes as well!
15. Chili Peppers
This is yet another topping that adds an extra kick to your rice cakes. Chili peppers are very hot, so you should be careful when eating them. But they are a great addition to your dishes and an exciting ingredient to try out. Just remember that you shouldn’t eat these toppings raw; it’s better to cook them before putting them over your rice cakes.
Conclusion
Finding the right topping or topping combinations for your rice cakes can be challenging at first, but don’t worry! Once you’ve mastered this recipe, you can try making other kinds of rice cakes with different toppings like chicken and vegetables, gyoza (Japanese dumplings), and even pizza! Your imagination is the only limit here on what you can do with mushrooms and other toppings.
