So much simpler than adding broth a little at a time.

[davejohnson-yirk]

What is the red sauce that you used as a dip at the end?
Is there any brand name you'd recommend?
I'm trying this for the first time tonight.
Thank you!

Can i use rice cooker to prepare the rice?

[SpringfieldKakaruk]

You said you have to turn the balls "around". How does that brown the part sticking out of oil ? Shouldn't you "flip over" the balls ? It looked like you flipped them, not turned around. Not English as first language. Yes just turning them around will keep the part in oil still in the oil and top will still be out.😊

Nice recipe for Mexican rice cheese balls but NOT ARANCINI!!! Check other YouTube videos for a real arancini recipes. Probably okay taste but do not call it an arancini.

WHY chicken stock, WHY not veggie stock❓‼️🥲
