Form the rice balls by hand, using about 1/2 cup for each one. If the mixture fails to stick together, mash it to break down the rice kernels. Roll each rice ball in bread crumbs to coat it thoroughly. Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a heavy skillet. Fry the rice balls, rolling them often so that they will brown evenly. When they are golden brown, crispy, and thoroughly heated, remove them from the skillet and roll them gently on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Rice balls can also be filled. Form the rice balls around a cube of mozzarella cheese or make an indentation, fill it with tomato sauce, and then pinch it closed and cook as above. Rice balls are delicious plain or topped with cheese or tomato sauce. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
