Thank you, Mayuge, for your delicious feedback! Here’s how to make grilled rice balls in a skillet.

When grilling in a skillet, it cooks faster if you don’t flip the rice balls until the surface is browned.

I also learned that using more rice and a bit more oil helps keep the rice balls from falling apart. Thank you, HxxYmama.

Thank you, ココママ22! Mix the sauce into the rice a little at a time, just enough so you can shape the rice balls. After grilling, brush a little more sauce on the surface and grill again.
