Pearl-like sushi rice cooks up slightly moist and sticky, so it forms a cake easily. Chilling the cakes before browning helps them hold their shape.
Cooks' Note
Rice cakes can be shaped 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered after 15 minutes. Allow 2 to 5 minutes longer to cook. The eggs in this recipe will not be fully cooked, which may of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.
