mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: cheddar cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining creaminess.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Use leftover boiled rice at room temperature or cooled down in the fridge.

Finely chop all the vegetables in a food processor or chopper.

In a mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, tomato ketchup, chopped vegetables, salt, and seasoning. Mix while gradually adding rice flour or cornflour until the mixture can be bound into balls.

Roll small balls with the mixture, applying oil to your palms for smoothness if needed.

Preheat the air fryer at 200°C (390°F) for 4-5 minutes. Brush oil on the rice balls.

Once preheated, place the rice balls in the air fryer basket and air fry at 200°C (390°F) for 16-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
