Step 11

Take the rice balls out of the fridge and dredge them in the seasoned flour, dip them in the egg wash and then the panko breadcrumbs. Make sure they’re well coated before frying. Repeat this step for all of the rice balls.

Frying Process

Step 12

In a frying pan, heat your frying oil over medium low heat. You can use the chopstick trick to see when the oil is ready. Stick a wooden chopstick into the oil and when a flow of bubbles appears immediately, the oil is ready.
