These savory rice fritters are a delightful snack or appetizer, combining the comforting flavors of rice and cheese with a crispy golden crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, egg, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley until well mixed.
Ensure the rice is cool before mixing to prevent the egg from cooking prematurely.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to firm up.
Chilling helps the mixture hold its shape when forming the fritters.
Shape the chilled mixture into small balls or patties, then coat them evenly with panko bread crumbs.
Use slightly wet hands to prevent the mixture from sticking while shaping.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fritters in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Transfer the fried fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Keep the fritters warm in a low oven if frying in multiple batches.
Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
