These rice cakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used less oil.

Overall, I thought these rice cakes were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I had a hard time getting the rice cakes to stay together. I think I might have needed to use more egg.

These rice cakes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a more flavorful pesto.

These were so good! I used a store-bought pesto and they still turned out great. I will definitely be making these again.
