Easy Rice Croquettes (Arancini)
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I was enchanted by the arancini that I ate in Sicily and became a fan of it Mix some salt-boiled green peas or diced cheese into the filling to improve the taste You can use other variations of the rice as well, like ketchup rice or rice simply seasoned with parmesan cheese and salt.
The meat sauce can be cold and just out of the fridge when shaping the rice balls. You can form them into bell-shapes or round balls.
For best results, use fine panko. If you don't have any on hand, ground up what you have with a food processor, etc.
To avoid any mistakes, use lots of oil and deep-fry the croquettes in one go. Recipe by belfy.

Croquettes with Demi-glace Sauce from Leftover Hayashi Rice
When you had hayashi rice for dinner on the previous day... sometimes you're left with such small amount of the sauce that's not even enough to serve on rice. It's those times when you feel like shouting, "Who was the last one to eat this!?" These croquettes are perfect for that situation.In Step 2, keep on stirring to prevent the sauce from burning. Try scooping it up with a ladle, and see if it keeps its shape when you drop it into the pan. When adding flour, make sure to add in small batches to avoid any lumps.Please add a small amount of ketchup if it tastes too plain in Step 3. Recipe by Miashanmama
Shio-koji Soboro Croquettes Wrapped in Rice Paper
You can make fried croquettes with the ingredients you will always have at home. This is a quick way, but it's great since the croquettes never burst.It is a quite fun to squeeze the potatoes with your hand. It is also quick. Keep the shio-koji soboro in your freezer to make different dishes. Which do you use, Japanese-style Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for a dipping sauce? Please try sweet chilli sauce for this.

Pan Fried Arancini
I love arancini, but I don't have a deep fryer, and I don't want to waste a bunch of oil on an appetizer. Still, this little problem has been driving me crazy for years, every time I have leftover risotto, I can't help but want to make arancini. Finally, I realized this simple solution.
Arancini
A crowd pleaser for sure!! Create your own variation by changing the filling - try different cheeses or go veggie with sauteed mushrooms,,,,the possibilities are endless!!

Arancini normally contain tomato and are red, but I thought yellow ones might be nice too.The amount of bullion used was around 400 ml. You don't have to use it all. Recipe by schenklu
Dessert Arancini
Loosely based on the leftover risotto recipe from Italy, this was inspired by having lots of leftover Slow Cooker Rice Pudding, and some rather posh chocs lying around. These deep-fried rice balls, served with vanilla ice-cream are soft with crisp, and hot with cold. Mmmm.

Round Potato Croquettes
To retain the potato flavor, I eliminated the other ingredients!I first made this dish for the Moon-viewing festival. But it was well-received by my family that I always shape croquettes into balls like this.Make sure that the coatings of flour and panko sticks to the potato balls.When forming the balls, squeeze hard as if you're squeezing the air trapped inside! Squeeze the balls once more before deep frying to prevent them from exploding when dee-frying. Recipe by Ru-ru

Tiny & Easy Onigiri Rice Squares
I just came up with this idea on whim.Step 5: You can also fill each of the four sections of the box with plastic wrap, put in the rice, and wrap them up in there, but the squares are quite small, making it difficult to get the wrap in nicely. I recommend doing it as in Steps 6, 7, and 8. Recipe by MAYOMAYO.

Sweet Potato Croquettes
I got a lot of sweet potatoes as a gift, so I made them into croquettes: my children's favorite.The texture depends on what kind of sweet potatoes you use. If you don't like it flaky, adjust thickness with milk or fresh cream. I tried to keep the other ingredients to a minimum to highlight the natural taste of the sweet potatoes. Recipe by kazz72
