Leftover Risotto Fritters [vegetarian]

I love risotto however leftovers do not always live up to expectations. Instead, I make fritters like these, served with salad.

I use eggs to bind the rice. If you do not eat eggs you can use a pack of tofu scrambled with a fork instead.

I created this recipe as part of the Food Waste Challenge from AO.com.

You can use any leftover risotto to make this dish. Click here to see the Asian Risotto I have used for it.
