Step 3: Shape the Patties
Take a small portion of the mixture (about 2–3 tablespoons) and form it into a patty using your hands.
Flatten it slightly so it cooks evenly. Repeat until all the mixture is used. You should get about 5–6 patties.
Step 4: Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil (about 1–2 tablespoons).
Allow the oil to heat up for about a minute. You’ll know it’s ready when it shimmers slightly.
Step 5: Cook the Patties
Carefully place the patties into the pan without overcrowding.
Cook for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Flip gently to prevent breaking.
Step 6: Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
