Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 shallot, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
4 ounces ham steak, diced into chunks
2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Peanut oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Preheat a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.
  • Saute the shallot and garlic with the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the ham, cook until lightly crisp and then stir in the rice.
  • Mix the ham mixture, cream cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, and parsley together in a large mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Roll the mixture into 2-inch balls and put on a baking sheet.
  • Add the flour, beaten eggs, and panko to separate pie plates. Season the panko with salt and pepper. Roll the balls through the flour, then the egg and then the panko. Gently add the fritters to the deep-fryer and fry until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the fritters to a serving platter and serve.

I'm not a huge fan of rice balls, but these fritters were surprisingly good. I loved the crispy outer layer and the gooey cheese center.

Overall, I thought these fritters were just okay. They were easy to make, but they didn't have a lot of flavor.

I had a hard time getting the fritters to stay together. I think I'll try using a different type of rice next time.

The fritters were too oily for my liking. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These fritters were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

These fritters were easy to make and very tasty. I used mozzarella cheese and it melted perfectly. I will definitely be making these again.
