Ingredients

  • large eggs lightly beaten
  • cup flour all-purpose
  • 0.5 inch mozzarella cheese ( 1 oz total)
  • cups mushrooms chilled
  • cups vegetable oil for frying

Equipment

  • bowl
  • paper towels
  • pot
  • kitchen thermometer
  • wax paper
  • slotted spoon

Directions

  1. Roll chilled risotto into 12 (1 1/2-inch) balls using wet hands. Poke a small hole in center of each ball and insert a cube of cheese, then re-form into a ball.
  2. Put flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. Dredge 1 risotto ball in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs and transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Repeat with remaining balls.
  3. Heat 1 1/2 to 2 inches oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot until thermometer registers 360°F. Working in batches of 4, lower rice balls into oil with a slotted spoon and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
  4. Transfer with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 360°F between batches. 3
  5. Let balls stand 2 minutes (for cheese to melt).
