How To Make tasty rice balls
-
1Place the cooked rice in a bowl and add 1 egg yolk , the parmesan cheese, chimichurri sauce, onion, garlic and salt, mixing well.
-
2Into another bowl add 2 eggs and beat gently. Now you will want a small bowl for the breadcrumbs and salt and pepper, mix well and set aside until needed.
-
3Heat 2 cups of oil, on stove. (making sure it will cover your rice balls)
-
4Roll your rice mixture into 6 balls, and in each ball, make a space big enough to place the mozzarella piece, then close the rice mixture around it and gently re-roll into a ball.
-
5Now you want to dip the balls into the egg wash and coat in the breadcrumbs.
-
6Fry the rice balls in the hot oil for 5-7 minutes until the outside is a nice golden color.
-
7Then remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain, repeat until all the balls are cooked.
-
8Enjoy as is or serve with tomato sauce...
