Not just because of the health factors, I just really hate waste, and I feel like too much oil is wasted when foods are deep-fried. So I decided to make some cheesy rice balls, otherwise known as arancini, different from the way I have had it before - I baked it. The goal is melty, gooey cheese mingling with creamy rice, not sizzling cheese in the cooking oil. Once formed, it is time to coat the risotto rounds for frying to a rich mahogany brown color with crunchy crust. Roll the balls of rice in flour and then in the whisked egg whites.
