These were absolutely delicious! If there's a problem with the burgers being soft, make sure that you're not using instant brown rice and that all of the liquid is absorbed before using. In fact, use a bit less water that is called for when preparing it. I'm sure that this will help you out a great deal. Also, the baking idea is a good one. It does help firm them up.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"","GUID":"fdafa38384134404af2f9772e74c24cd","MemberId":2408742,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"asnunez","SubmittedDate":"05\/16\/2009 23:27"},{"Comment":"

I tried this recipe the other night, it was very good and easy to make, the sauce was very good. The only problem I had was that they fell apart. I thought maybe I had put too much rice in it, but when my daughter made them they did the same thing for her. Maybe if the patties were smaller it would help any suggestions?<\/p>

I'm going to try this...sounds delicious. I'm also going to switch the egg for egg white. Also, if you want your nonstick pans to last...never use cooking spray on them. It will eventually damage your pans.<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"","GUID":"EFAB835E3C194BF29113E15B8EE927F9","MemberId":3261352,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"hwkfl","SubmittedDate":"07\/26\/2008 07:15"},{"Comment":"
