Make your Coconut Peanut Sauce by blending all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside.
In a coconut oil greased skillet over medium-high heat, saute your chopped onion until beginning to brown.
Add your Coconut Peanut sauce to skillet with onion and cook a few minutes while stirring.
Add your cooked rice to skillet and stir until all is evenly mixed. Turn off heat and move mixture to a bowl to cool slightly.
Liberally grease a skillet with coconut oil and turn to medium heat.
Using ice cream scoop - sized dollops of your rice mixture, flatten into a patty with your hands and place into your greased skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes each side, or until desired golden crispiness. Repeat until you have 10 patties.
Garnish your patties with crushed peanuts, shredded coconut, and a drizzle of Sriracha sauce (or any condiment of your liking) before serving.
