Prep Time

Prep time for this recipe is about 15 minutes.

Cook Time

Cook time for this recipe is about 20 minutes.

Ingredient

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Method

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, eggs, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small balls or croquettes, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat up enough vegetable oil in a frying pan to cover the bottom of the pan, about 1/2 inch deep.
  4. Add the croquettes to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the croquettes from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
  6. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch.

Notes

  • You can use any type of cooked rice for this recipe, such as white rice, brown rice, or even wild rice.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add more bread crumbs. If it's too dry, add another egg.
  • If you don't want to fry the croquettes, you can also bake them in the oven at 375°F for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the croquettes. If the oil is too cool, the croquettes will absorb too much oil and become soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the croquettes. This will cause the temperature of the oil to drop and result in uneven cooking.
  • Try adding other ingredients to the mixture, such as chopped vegetables or cooked meats, to add extra flavor and texture.

Enjoy your delicious leftover rice croquettes!
