Ingredients

  • 2 cup cooked chicken(shredded or finely diced)
  • 3 cup cooked jasmine rice(cooled)
  • 1 pc large egg(beaten)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs(panko preferred for crispiness)
  • 2 tbsp scallions(finely chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil(for frying)

Instructions

Make the Rice Balls

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cooked jasmine rice, beaten egg, chopped scallions, salt, and pepper.
  2. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture holds together.
  3. Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1.5-2 inches in diameter. You should yield approximately 8-10 balls.
  4. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.
  5. Gently roll each rice ball in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.

Fry the Rice Balls

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Carefully place the breadcrumb-coated rice balls into the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  3. Pan-fry the rice balls for about 6-8 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
  4. Remove the crispy rice balls from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Tips

  • Ensure chicken and rice are completely cool before mixing for easier handling and to prevent sogginess.
  • Maintain medium heat to ensure the inside heats through while the outside becomes perfectly crispy.
  • Serve immediately, optionally with a side of chili sauce or soy sauce for dipping.
