Arancini Balls


It's actually fried rice balls. I'm on my 7 weeks pregnancy now, and i can barely eat rice. So one day my husband had too many rice leftover, i was inspired by my friend who posted arancinis photo on her Tumblr.
Here goes the recipe. (i will not write the measurement down, because it will depend on what fillings you make for your arancini)

For the rice balls and fillings:
Rice
Cube size sauteed chicken
Slice cheese
Parsley
Salt, pepper, and chicken powder.

For the skin:
Battered eggs. 2 eggs is enough for app.12 balls
Bread crumbs

Mix together all the ingredients for your rice balls. Make ball shape using your hand and make sure that it's tight and solid enough. You won't like it if your rice balls get scattered out when they're fried.

Roll your rice balls in egg and then roll it in bread crumbs. Repeat this process twice. Set aside, wait until the egg layer is still. Here, your arancini are ready to be fried.

Prepare your frying oil. Make sure that it stays on medium heat. Overheat will cause uneven color to your arancini. When your oil is ready, fry your arancini until it has golden brown color.

Voila, smakelijk eten!

Tips:

  • If you don't have ready-to-use bread crumbs, make your own by processing dried bread. If you don't have dried bread, you can try to put your bread on heated pan, but make sure that they don't get burned.
  • If you use brown bread like i did, your arancini will get black too soon, but don't worry. It doesn't mean that it's overcooked.
