A lot of work, which is why i gave it only 4 stars, still really good though. if i would have known better, i would have just used the left-over brown rice in the fridge and added garlic to the already cooked rice rather than spending the extra hour plus cooking and cooling new rice just so it can have garlic cloves and a bay leaf

My son was in the mood for Rice Balls and this recipe was just what we were looking for. I thought all the taste was great and we enjoyed it very much. I will make them again real soon.

This was okay but not great. We liked all of the ingredients but they didn't have that "wow!" factor when combined in this dish. It was kind of difficult to put together and not really worth the effort. If we make it again, we'll change it, adding more garlic, parmesan, black pepper, etc.--more flavor.

Just to let you know....you can stop after the balls are formed and rolled in bread crumbs. Simply cover them in one layer and put in fridge. Bring to room temp before frying them. Maybe they even held together better because of the refrigeration. 24 balls means they are pretty big...I like them when they are about 2 bite size for an appetizer. I make about 35-40. Saw these for sale on the street in Sicily and they were as big as naval oranges. Great recipe, thanks!

I LOVE rice balls and was so excited when i saw this recipe. i adjusted this to my taste and it came out yummy. I put mozzarella cheese in the middle of this and it came out so good. I think i will put chicken in the middle next time and dip in marinara sauce. thank you!!!!

I had my doubts but these came out really good. A lot of work, but if you make enough of them at a time it's worth it!

For the most part this was good. I did need more eggs to dip balls in and there wasn't that much flavor. Next time, I will spice it up a bit!

Excellent! I have tried rice balls before and I do believe the secret to this one is that there are only egg whites in the mixture and then as coating...keeping the little nuggets all together when cooking. Easy, faster than you think.
