And this post is specially prepared under the request of my readers. So, guess this is the best way to celebrate my number 1000 posts >o<  Hope you guys will love it too ! Please read on for more.

Ingredients for Rice Ball :
3 cups cooked rice （must be soft）
2 pkt x 50gm mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 canned x 150gm tuna chunks in oil (discharged oil)
3 tablespoon mushroom floss
1 tablespoon nori flakes
1/2 tspn salt
1 tspn mushroom granules
1/2 tablespoon ground black pepper

Ingredients for coating :
1 egg beaten
1-1/2 cup bread crumb

Method :
(1) Combine all rice ball ingredients and mix well. Then divide into 14 portions with an ice cream scope.

(divide into small portions for pressing)

Can either hand press or by using a gadget.

(2) Now, press to round the mixed rice between a plastic sheet or you may also use a onigiri press gadget (as picture shown the above)

(3) Next, dip rice ball into beaten egg and then coat with bread crumb. Finally, deep fried till golden brown.

Do make sure deep fry over medium low heat to get the perfect colour balance. Other than that try use really soft cooked rice for this recipe. If you're using leftover chilled rice then make sure steam it before used.
