In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring rice, stock and salt to boiling. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook 40 to 45 minutes, or until all water has been absorbed. Let cool. In a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, combine oil, celery, parsnips and sweet potatoes or carrots. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes, or until soft but not brown. Add green onions; cook 1 minute. Remove from heat. In large bowl, combine sauted vegetables, almonds, bread crumbs, parsley, soy sauce, egg and rice. Mix well. Form into 3-inch patties.
