1
Prepare the Boudin Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boudin sausage, cooked rice, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2
Form the Balls
Using wet hands, take a portion of the mixture and form it into a ball about the size of a golf ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
3
Prep the Breading Station
Set up a breading station with two bowls: one with beaten eggs and another with breadcrumbs. Dip each boudin ball first into the beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are fully covered.
4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

5
Fry the Boudin Balls
Carefully place the breaded boudin balls into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally for even cooking.
6
Drain and Serve
Once golden brown, use a slotted spoon to remove the boudin balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
