This recipe combines the best of many cultures with crispy fried sushi rice, aaah-mazing ahi tuna, and umami-inducing cream cheese to form the most divine appetizer bites this side of Tokyo.

These balls of ambrosia are the ULTIMATE party appetizer. They are the height of gourmet with NONE of the fuss. You can assemble them in minutes, forget about them until guests arrive, then simply take them out of the refrigerator and serve to a resounding chorus of ooh's and aah's.

These risotto cakes have a little unexpected surprise inside- rich and decadent Philadelphia cream cheese. From the crunchy texture of fried risotto on the outside to the smooth and tangy center, this is one bite you won't soon forget.
