Divide sauce among 6 small bowls; cool to room temperature.
  • For marinade:
  • Whisk all ingredients in small bowl to blend. Do ahead Marinade can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
  • For rice fritters:
  • Separate leaves from cabbage. Cook in large pot of boiling salted water until wilted, about 30 seconds. Drain; pat dry. Finely chop.
  • Mix cabbage, rice, green onions, and 3/4 cup panko; season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in egg. Place remaining 1 1/4 cups panko on plate. Measure heaping tablespoonful of rice mixture; press together firmly to form ball, then flatten slightly into disk. Press disk into panko to coat. Repeat with remaining rice mixture.

Working in batches, fry rice fritters until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain. Heat large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
