Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 1/2 lb ground beef
- 1/4 cup Korean bulgogi marinade
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- 1. Cook the Risotto: In a saucepan, simmer vegetable broth. Sauté onions in olive oil until translucent, then stir in Arborio rice until toasted. Gradually add broth, stirring until absorbed (about 18 minutes). Mix in Parmesan cheese and season.
- 2. Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Add bulgogi marinade and simmer for about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- 3. Form Arancini: Once risotto is cool enough to handle, scoop about two tablespoons into your palm, flatten it slightly, place one tablespoon of filling in the center, and roll into a ball.
- 4. Bread the Balls: Roll each ball in flour, dip into beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- 5. Fry: Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot. Fry arancini for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels before serving.
