Landi's Pork Store Rice Balls image

Landi's is a famous pork store in Brooklyn New York. You will LOVE these. They make a great appetizer. I served them with a side of marinara sauce. I use medium grain rice because it holds together better than long grain rice. These are easily frozen and then reheated in the oven.
