Ingredients
Rice Mixture
- 1 cup Rice leftover, cooked, cooled
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 2 Chili finely chopped, green, optional; adjust to taste
- 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 tsp Corn Flour
- 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour for extra crispiness and binding
Frying
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil or enough for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Rice Mixture
- Combine cooked rice, chopped onion, green chilies (if using), salt, cornflour, and all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Shape the Rice Balls
- Lightly wet your hands with water to prevent the rice mixture from sticking. Take small portions of the rice mixture and shape them into small, tight balls.
Fry the Rice Balls
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the rice balls to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Deep Fry
- Fry the rice balls for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the fried rice balls from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Extra Crispy Rice Balls
- For extra crispy rice balls, allow the rice mixture to sit for at least 15 minutes after mixing. This will help the cornflour bind the ingredients and create a crispier crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the rice balls. This will lower the oil temperature, resulting in soggy rice balls. Fry in batches if necessary.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add more green chilies or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the rice mixture.
- Experiment with different flavor combinations! Add finely chopped herbs, spices, or shredded cheese to the rice mixture for a unique twist.
