To create arancine, place 3 Tbsp. rice mix in palm of hand and make an indentation with the back of a spoon. Spoon 2 Tbsp. sardine mix into indentation and form an open bowl out of the rice in your hand. Cover filled portion with another Tbsp. of rice mix and using both hands, shape the rice into a ball. Continue with remaining rice mix and stuffing till done.

Carefully place 3 balls at a time into pan and fry till golden, about 3 to 4 min, stirring with tongs or possibly kitchen spoon to keep them moving. Drain cooked balls on paper towels and place on large platter and serve either hot or possibly at room temperature.
