Step 1
In a bowl, mix 2 cups cooked rice, 1 beaten egg, and 0.5 cup breadcrumbs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 8 balls, pressing firmly so they hold together.
Step 3
Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry the rice balls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden and crispy all over, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, stir together 0.25 cup mayonnaise and 1 tbsp lemon juice to make the dipping sauce.
Step 5
Serve the hot rice balls with the sauce on the side for dipping.
