Ingredients
- 300 g short-grain rice, such Arborio
- ¼ tsp crushed saffron
- 1½ cups water
- 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 4 tsp unsalted butter
- Fine sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 brown onion
- 50 g butter
- 1 tbsp miso paste
- ½ cup chopped kimchi
- ½ cup onions, cooked down
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the rice, saffron, and 1½ cups water to a boil.
- Cover, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until all of the water has been absorbed.
- Remove lid, stir in grated Parmigiano, butter, salt, and pepper, to taste.
- Spread the rice out on a large plate or baking dish to cool completely to room temperature.
- Caramelise the onions in butter until soft, stir through the miso paste. Set aside to cool completely.
- Mix the cheese, onions and kimchi together to create your filling.
- Divide rice into 6 portions, add 1-2 tbsp mixture to the centre. Fold the rice over the filling, ensuring it's all covered. Dip the arancini in egg wash and coat in breadcrumbs.
- Fry in vegetable oil at 160°C for 6-8 minutes or until evenly golden brown. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel to drain.
