They are a mouthwatering vegan alternative to the classic Italian recipe.

Asparagus gives a unique and fresh flavour to the cream filling. And it also comes with many health benefits.

To make one rice ball, scoop a portion of the rice into your hand and place one teaspoon of cashew cream in the centre. Then, add a few cooked asparagus bits and seal the ball by wrapping the rice around the filling.
Whisk the flour with water to make a smooth batter in one bowl. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs with sesame seeds, garlic powder, and parsley.
Dip each rice ball in the batter and then roll it into the coating mix.
