Step 1
Scoop 2 tbsp cold risotto, press a mozzarella ball into the center, then cover with more rice to seal. Repeat with remaining rice and cheese. Freeze on a plate for 10 minutes.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, panko mixed with salt and pepper in the third.
Step 3
Roll each rice ball in flour, then egg, then panko until fully coated. Set on a fresh plate.
Step 4
Heat oil in a heavy skillet or pot to 350°F over medium-high heat. Test with a single breadcrumb—it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Carefully lower supplì into hot oil 3 at a time. Fry 2–3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown all over.
Step 6
Transfer to paper towels. Warm marinara sauce in a small pot. Serve supplì hot with marinara for dipping.
