1
Line up three plates on your counter. On the first plate whisk together white rice flour, granulated garlic, salt, dried basil, and freshly fround black pepper. On the second plate, whisk eggs until smooth. On the thrid plate, place the bread crumbs.
2
Cut the cheese sticks in half. Roll string cheese in white rice flour, coating well. You don't want any bare spots on the cheese sticks. Take care to coat the ends of the cheese sticks with flour. This prevents the cheese sticks from "leaking" during frying.
3
Roll a cheese stick in egg, coating thoroughly. Return the cheese stick to the white rice flour and coat again. Return again to egg and coat thoroughly. Finally roll the coated stick in bread crumbs. Place the coated stick on a baking pan or large dish. Repeat until all sticks are coated. Chill sticks for five minutes.

4

Heat 1/2 inch of oil in an 8-inch frying pan. Sprinkle a little white rice flour on the surface of the oil. When the flour sizzles, the oil is ready.

5

Remove the cheese sticks from the refrigerator. Place six cheese sticks into the pan. Fry for 30 seconds. Using a heat-proof spatula, roll the sticks in oil to turn. Fry for an additional 30 seconds, or until the sticks are golden brown. If any cheese begins to leak, remove sticks from oil.

6

Repeat with the remaining cheese sticks. Serve with marinara sauce and enjoy!
