Step 1
In a food processor, pulse the 0.5 cup pistachios until finely chopped. In a bowl, mix the 2 cups cooked rice, chopped pistachios, 1 beaten egg, and 0.5 teaspoon salt until well combined.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Roll each ball in the 1 cup breadcrumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly.
Step 3
Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until a breadcrumb sizzles immediately, about 350°F. Fry the arancini in batches, without crowding, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Step 4
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
