These rice balls were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll use less oil next time.

I had some trouble getting the rice balls to hold together. I think I didn't cook the rice long enough.

I've tried other recipes for rice balls before, but this one is by far the best. The rice balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the filling is flavorful and cheesy.
