Recipe by Maren Ellingboe
For perfectly fried, mozzarella Arancini, dip a rice ball into flour and shake off any excess. Dip floured ball into egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finish by coating completely in breadcrumbs. Repeat.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
- 5 ounces fresh mozzarella
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
- Canola or peanut oil for frying
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
- Put cooked rice, chicken broth, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until thickened, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese. Remove from heat and let cool. Cut mozzarella into 1/2-inch cubes (you'll have a little left over).
- Roll cooled rice into balls the size of golf balls. Push a piece of mozzarella into the middle of each ball, making sure that cheese is completely enclosed. Chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Set out 3 plates or shallow bowls. Break eggs into one and beat lightly with a fork. Mix flour with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and the pepper in another, and put panko in the third bowl.
- Fill a 4-qt. pot with enough oil to come 2 in. up side of pot. Insert a deep-fry thermometer and heat oil to 340 ° over medium-high heat. Dip a rice ball into flour and shake off any excess. Dip floured ball into egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finish by coating completely in breadcrumbs. Repeat with remaining balls.
- Deep-fry rice balls, in batches, until golden brown all over, 2 to 3 minutes, letting temperature return to 340 ° between batches. With a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Season with salt to taste and serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
