Directions

Mash the cooked soybeans in a bowl until paste-like. Add the rice, mix well and set aside.
Put 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan and set over high heat. When hot, put in the green onion, ginger, garlic, carrot and jalapenos. Stir fry for 3 - 4 minutes, or until very lightly browned. Empty the contents of the frying pan into the bowl with the soybeans and rice.
Add the cilantro, mint, garam masala, cayenne, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and taste for seasonings, adding more of anything you like.
Add the egg and breadcrumbs, and mix well. The mixture should be firm enough to form into balls or patties. Add a little more breadcrumbs if necessary. (This mixture can be kept, covered with plastic, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
Divide the mixture into 16 parts and form patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the remaining oil in a large, preferably nonstick frying pan, over medium - high heat. When hot, lay in as many patties as the pan will hold easily in a single uncrowded layer.
Fry them for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they develop a rich, dark, reddish - brown crust on both sides.
Remove and drain briefly on paper towels, placing the patties in a warm oven until the remaining patties are fried. Add additional oil to the pan if necessary.
