Instructions

Prepare the Bulgogi Filling: In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and green onions; cook until combined and heated through.
Cook the Risotto: In another pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Arborio rice and toast until golden. Gradually add warm broth while stirring until rice is al dente and creamy.
Combine Flavors: Fold half of the bulgogi mixture into the cooled risotto. Optionally mix in shredded cheese for added creaminess.
Form the Arancini: Scoop a spoonful of risotto mixture and form it into a ball around a teaspoon of remaining bulgogi filling. Roll each ball in panko breadcrumbs.
Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry arancini in batches until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes). Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
