Cheese Rice Balls

1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked white rice, shredded cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, and chopped parsley.

2.Mix the ingredients until well combined, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

3.Scoop out portions of the rice mixture and shape them into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

4.Pour the flour onto a shallow plate. Roll each rice ball in the flour to coat it evenly.

5.In a deep saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat for frying.

6.Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated rice balls into the oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

7.Fry the rice balls for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.

8.Remove the rice balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

9.Serve the cheese rice balls hot with a side of marinara sauce or your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
