Stuffed Rice Croquette

Ingredients:

• 1 plate cooked rice
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 3 beaten eggs
• 1 cup Japanese panko bread crumb or more
• Vegetable oil for deep fry

For Stuffing:

• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/8 cup sun dried tomato
• 3 layers of turkey bacon (or any bacon)-grill and chopped
• 1/2 dried parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Vegetable oil to deep fry
• salt to taste

Cooking Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix all the stuffing ingredients together and set aside
2. Scoop the rice and put on your palm; make like a bowl then put some of the stuffing on it and cover it with another rice to look like a ball.  Do it until it is done.
3. In three different separate plates, place the all purpose flour, beaten eggs and bread crumb. Then roll a rice ball one by one onto the flour and egg evenly, then to the bread crumb. 
4. Fry them in hot oil until golden brown and dry them on a rack or paper towel. 
5. Serve and enjoy this delightful rice croquette.
