  These are called corn patties in Vietnam and are not flavored with
  saffron. I always liked this recipe and since the Pennsylvania Dutch
  are famous for putting saffron in their corn chowders, I thought, why
  not?
  
  Steep threads in hot water for 20 minutes.  Combine all ingredients
  and form hamburger-sized flat patties.  Coat heavy skillet with oil
  and when hot, but not smoky, begin frying patties.  Brown on both
  sides and serve immediately.
