From what I\u2019ve seen, there are two traditional styles of rice balls \u2013 Italian ones made with risotto then deep fried and Japanese ones made with sushi rice. Both sometimes have fillings as well.<\/p>\n<p>While I love the idea of both, I really prefer more versatile side dishes, especially ones that can be frozen. So I came up with this twist that is delicious. They can be frozen and reheated without any loss of flavor or quality. And they are super versatile. They definitely work for us!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-7531\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"7531\" data-servings=\"0\"><div
