Miniature Cheese Rice Ball

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked short-grain rice (preferably sushi rice)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)

Cooking Steps:

Step 1: Prepare Rice Mixture In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 2: Shape into Balls Take a small amount of the rice mixture and shape it into a ball, about the size of a walnut. Repeat until all the mixture is used, creating bite-sized rice balls.

Step 3: Coat with Breadcrumbs Roll each rice ball in breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Ensure a good layer of breadcrumbs to achieve a crispy exterior.

Step 4: Dip in Beaten Eggs Dip each breadcrumb-coated rice ball into the beaten eggs, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Step 5: Double-Coat with Breadcrumbs Roll the egg-coated rice ball once again in breadcrumbs for a double coating. This enhances the crispiness.

Step 6: Heat Oil for Frying In a deep pan or skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure there's enough oil for the rice balls to be fully submerged.

Step 7: Fry until Golden Brown Carefully place the rice balls into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown, rotating for even cooking. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.

Step 8: Drain and Serve Using a slotted spoon, remove the Miniature Cheese Rice Balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy Serve the Miniature Cheese Rice Balls while they're hot and crispy. Optionally, offer marinara sauce for dipping.

These Miniature Cheese Rice Balls are a delightful fusion of cheesy goodness and crispy perfection. They're sure to be a hit at any gathering, providing a burst of flavor in every bite-sized ball.
