The Best Crispy Rice Fritters with Tapioca

In a bowl, combine the cooked rice, pepperoni sausage, mozzarella cheese, carrot, mayonnaise, and egg.

Add your desired seasonings, such as minced garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, and dried and fresh herbs.

Incorporate half a teaspoon of baking powder into the main mixture.

Transfer the mixture to another bowl and gradually start adding the tapioca starch, mixing well until everything is incorporated.

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet until it reaches the ideal temperature for deep-frying.

Shape the mixture into fritters using two spoons (one to transfer and another to help mold) and carefully place them into the hot oil.

Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy, thanks to the tapioca starch.
