Savory Rice Cakes Inspired by Our Retried Savory Bars
Dr. Allen Lim started making his now famous Rice Cakes at training camps and races to give athletes something savory and fresh to eat while on the bike. They became a huge hit because riders were tired of pre-packaged, sweet foods. Sometimes savory hits the spot!
Not only are these rice cakes delicious, they also provide a consistent energy source that doesn’t upset the stomach.
The rice cakes helped inspire our bars, and for a period of time we had savory bars. But alas, people were split on them and therefore they were retired. But don't fret, here are the recipes that inspired them!
