Prepare boudin by removing from casings and placing in a mixing bowl.

Add cooked rice, chopped green onions, diced celery, diced bell pepper, minced garlic, and seasonings to the bowl.

Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Form the mixture into balls, about the size of a golf ball.

Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs.

Roll each ball in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Carefully add the boudin balls to the hot oil in batches.

Fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
