Rice Croquettes

The rice mixture can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerated in an airtight container. The shaped, unbreaded croquettes can be frozen on a parchment-lined baking sheet until solid, then transferred to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Bread and fry directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the cooking time.

Store fried croquettes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 375°F oven on a wire rack set over a baking sheet for 10-12 minutes to restore crispness. Do not microwave, as this will make them soggy.
