Rice cakes taste like cardboard. Anything to add to them to give them some taste. What about the health aspects of rice cakes? The name makes them sound healthy but doesn't necessarily mean they are healthy. Don't know much about them.
The brands sold in health food stores are better. People practicing a diet called macrobiotics often include these in their diet. The health food store varieties are thicker, made with more rice and have more flavor. I find them to be fresher and have a pleasant (for rice cakes!) grain flavor.
Try sugar-free apple butter, peanut butter or any nut butter as a spread. Also, any flavor of hummus. Egg salad is nice, as is mock egg salad made with tofu. I find the health food brands are good simply as-is. If you only know rice cakes from the brands at the supermarket, I encourage you to pick up a bag at the health food store. They will be much more expensive BUT they will also be better, at least in my opinion. I will never forget the first time I ate the supermarket kind. I had to spit them out, they were gross.
Havent had them in yrs either but I used to like the buttered popcorn or cheddar cheese flavors - lubby posted some excellent topping suggestions (truthfully woudlnt have considered the egg salad or tuna salad but both are decent suggestions). Maybe a slice of American cheese w/b good or perhaps mixing lowfat cottage cheese w/ a tad of horseradish might spice up a plain rice cake. Would have to forego the bacon that was mentioned though (as good as it sounds).
I would put a bit of mayonnaise on them and then a slice of cheese. I love them that way. The other suggestions of hummus, egg or tuna salad, etc. are good ideas.
Yes, the pre-fab ones are Styrofoam. Have you tried the fresh ones Asian markets sell? A big difference.
