Rice Balls
Yield: 10 servings (3 points per serving for blue, green and purple)
- 1 cup jasmine rice (uncooked)
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 2 pieces Sargento light string cheese
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
Heal oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and sauté 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in the rice then add the chicken broth. Cover and cook on low 20 minutes.
Once the rice is cooked pour it onto a plate and spread it out to cool.
Cut each piece of string cheese into 5. You should have 10 total pieces of cheese.
Wet your hands and form the rice into 10 balls. Put one piece of cheese in the center of the ball and make sure it is sealed.
Lay out 3 small bowls. Add the flour to one bowl, then the egg (scramble the egg) and finally the breadcrumbs.
Dip each rice ball in the flour, followed by the egg then the breadcrumbs.
Spray the rice balls with olive oil spray.
