In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, all-purpose flour, corn starch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Gradually add water to the mixture until it reaches a thick, batter-like consistency.

In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat oil over medium heat until hot.

Using your hands, form small patties from the rice mixture.

Carefully place a few patties in the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the rice cakes from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm and enjoy as a snack or side dish.
