Arancini rice balls

Ingredients

  • 3 rice cooker cups of rice - about 450g (uncooked Japanese rice, short grain)
  • 3 rice cooker cups of water
  • 1/2 tsp safran
  • 1 maggi cube

For the filling

  • 3 garlic cloves - finely chopped
  • 350g ground beef
  • 1/3 tsp fine salt
  • 1/3 tsp sugar
  • 70g tomato paste
  • 1/2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp ketchup
  • 100 to 150g your favorite cheese
  • some of flour
  • some panko / bread crumbs
  • 1 or 2 eggs (mix with 100ml whole milk)

Instructions

  • 1. Wash the rice well and drain. Transfer the rice to the rice cooker bowl and add water, safran and bouillon cube. Press to start. Once it is done, let the rice set in for ~10min.
  • 2. Make the filling In a cooking pot, heat 1 to 2 tbsp olive or vegetable oil and fry the garlic until fragrant.
  • 3. Add the ground beef and cook until it is no longer pink. Add all the seasoning ingredients (salt, sugar, tomato paste, mirin and ketchup) and stir well to mix. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. When it has cooled, add the cheese and mix. Set aside until the rice is ready.
  • 4. Make round shape balls with rice, adding the beef filling in the middle to cover. Roll in flour, then dredge in egg mixture and coat in panko/bread crumbs. Repeat with remaining rice.
  • 5. In a medium saucepan, add about 3 cm depth of oil and heat over medium-high heat and deep-fry the Arancini until nicely golden brown, turn frequently to get brown evenly. Transfer onto a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil.
  • 6. Serve hot with extra ketchup and mayonnaise.

      My kids love rice balls with ketchup but you can surely eat them with your favorite sauce.
