Rice Balls Ingredients
Method
Rice Balls Directions
Prepare the Rice
Ensure the rice is cooked and cooled. Season with salt and mix well.
Form the Rice Balls
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small handful of rice (about 1/4 cup) and flatten it in your palm.
Add Filling
Place a piece of pickled plum or your chosen filling in the center of the flattened rice.
Shape the Rice Ball
Carefully fold the rice over the filling and shape it into a ball. Make sure the filling is completely enclosed.
Wrap with Nori
Cut nori sheets into strips and wrap them around each rice ball. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
Serve
Arrange the rice balls on a plate and serve with soy sauce for dipping.
