Let's Get Started

1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, Parmesan cheese, eggs, parsley, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.
3. Roll each ball in breadcrumbs, making sure they are evenly coated.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat.
5. Fry the rice balls in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
6. Remove the rice balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve the Bolinhos de Arroz hot as an appetizer or snack.
