Preparation method
- Cook the rice in salted water until very soft.
- Drain any excess water if necessary.
- Place the cooked rice, egg, parsley, coriander, and chopped scallions into a blender and process until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan.
- Gradually add the flour while stirring.
- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the dough detaches completely from the bottom of the pan and forms a ball.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Remove the dough from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- On a clean, lightly floured surface, shape the dough into logs about 2 cm in diameter.
- Cut the logs into 2 cm pieces to form the gnocchi.
- In a large pot, bring a generous amount of water with salt and 4 tablespoons of the vegetable oil to a boil.
- Add the gnocchi to the boiling water in small batches to prevent sticking.
- Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon as soon as they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked.
- Drain the gnocchi and, if desired, finish by sautéing them in a skillet with the remaining vegetable oil, or serve directly with your preferred sauce.
