You can either fry the bombs or let them bake inside the oven: the result will be, pretty much, the same, as the mozzarella cheese will still be stringy. Baked bombs are, however, a slightly healthier option. We also suggest you refrigerate the mozzarella balls for a few hours before using them, so that the excess liquid inside of them will dry a bit: this will help reduce the loss of liquid while they cook.
