Cook the rice with vegetable stock for 18 to 20 minutes, mix with Parmesan, spread out, and cool.
Shape handful-sized balls from the cooled rice and place mozzarella in the centers.
Coat the balls first in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, covering the surface evenly.
Fry the arancini in 175°C oil for 5 to 6 minutes, turning, then rest on paper towel.
💡 Tip: Once the rice mixture cools, shaping balls becomes easier and they hold their form in the oil.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the arancini hot right after frying, with tomato sauce on the side.
