Everyone loves these. They are excellent served with a salad and bread as a light lunch or main course. Just adjust the size and/or the quantity.

These were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

These were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rice balls fell apart when I tried to fry them.

These were a great way to use up leftover rice. I added some peas and carrots to the filling and they were a hit with my kids.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rice balls were still too mushy. I think I'll try using less water next time.
