Drain it and set it aside.
Chop the onion finely and sauté it in a pan with a little oil until it becomes transparent.
Meanwhile, cut the cabbage leaves into strips then add them to the sautéed onion and cook until tender.
Season with salt and pepper.
Combine in a bowl the rice, cabbage, Parmesan, and egg, and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper, and if you like, add some chopped parsley.

Heat the oil for frying in a deep skillet, then take a generous spoonful of the mixture and fry the cabbage and rice fritters a few at a time.
