Step 1
Mix cooled rice with parmesan, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
Step 2
Wet your hands and form rice into 8 balls about golf-ball sized, pressing a mozzarella cube into the center of each.
Step 3
Beat egg in one bowl, combine panko with a pinch of salt in another. Coat each ball in egg, then roll in panko until fully covered.
Step 4
Heat oil in a heavy pot to 350°F—test with a breadcrumb; it should sizzle immediately.
Step 5
Fry 4 balls at a time for 2–3 minutes, turning gently, until golden brown on all sides.
Step 6
Drain on paper towels. Cut lemon into wedges and serve hot supplì alongside.
