Ingredients

  • ¾ cup uncooked short grain rice
  • 3 heets nori (seaweed) coarsely shredded
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • sesame seeds lightly toasted, to garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook ¾ cup of short grain rice according to the packet instructions.
  2. While the rice is cooking, combine the coarsely shredded seaweed, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  3. Once the rice is cooked and has cooled down slightly (so that you are able to handle it), combine it with the seaweed, soy sauce, and sesame oil mixture. If you are mixing with your hands, be sure to either wet your hands slightly with water. This will prevent the rice from sticking to your hands.
  4. Using a tablespoon, scoop out a tablespoon of the rice mixture. Shape the rice into a ball by rolling it between your palms.
  5. Repeat step 4 until you have finished the rice mixture.
  6. Optional: Garnish the rice balls with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • Dampen your hands with water or oil slightly when handling the rice mixture. This will make it less likely the rice will stick to your hands.
  • If you are unable to find seaweed sheets, you can also use seasoned roasted seaweed.
