Peel and grate cassava using a box grater or food processor.

Boil grated cassava in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes.

Drain cassava and let it cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine cassava, beaten eggs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.

Mix until well combined and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

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

Roll each ball in bread crumbs to coat evenly.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the balls in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot with hot sauce on the side.
