Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, cubed or shredded
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • Oil, for deep frying
  • 1/2 cup tomato ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix cooked rice with parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and chili flakes.
  2. Flatten a spoonful of the rice mixture in your palm. Place a piece of mozzarella and cheddar in the center, then shape into a tight ball, fully enclosing the cheese.
  3. Repeat with remaining mixture. Chill balls for 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. Roll each ball in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry balls until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Mix all dip ingredients (ketchup, sriracha, lemon juice, salt) in a small bowl.
  7. Serve hot cheese bombs with spicy tomato dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Chilling the balls helps them hold shape during frying.
  • You can add herbs like basil or oregano for extra flavor.
  • Use a mix of cheese for varied melt and flavor.
  • Adjust spiciness of dip to taste by varying sriracha quantity.
