Tuna Mayo Rice Balls
Description
Tuna Mayo Rice Balls bring together soft, sticky sushi rice blended with tuna and Japanese-style mayonnaise, creating a creamy, flavorful filling. The addition of sesame oil adds a subtle nuttiness, while shredded roasted seaweed introduces a savory, briny note. The recipe instructs mixing all ingredients thoroughly, then shaping the mixture into either triangular shapes or round balls, depending on preference. This approach produces a hand-held snack with a balanced texture of tender rice and smooth mayo-tuna filling. It requires no baking or further cooking once formed, making it straightforward to assemble. These rice balls are suitable for casual meals or portable snacks, offering a mild and satisfying combination of ingredients familiar in Japanese cuisine.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice cooked
- 150 gram tuna canned
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2-3 tbsp mayonnaise kewpie, Japanese style
- 1-1½ cup seaweed shredded, roasted
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add the rice, sesame oil, mayo, tuna, and seaweed.
- Mix until everything is combined. Add more mayo if needed.
- Press down the mixture and use a spatula to “cut” the rice into 8 triangles, like you cut a pizza. Alternatively, you can simply eyeball the amount of rice mixture you use per ball.
- With clean hands or while wearing gloves, roll up each portion into a ball. Serve immediately.
