Wasabi Rice Balls
A fun and flavorful dish that makes use of slightly expired fresh wasabi root. These rice balls are filled with a creamy wasabi-infused mixture and coated with a crispy panko crust.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked sushi rice
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh wasabi root
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and grated fresh wasabi root.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked sushi rice, mayonnaise mixture, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
Shape the rice mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
In a shallow dish, spread out panko breadcrumbs.
Roll each rice ball in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to coat all sides.
Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the coated rice balls to the skillet and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve the wasabi rice balls as a delicious appetizer or snack.
