Main Ingredients- 320g warm cooked rice (approx. 1.5 bowls)
- 100g canned tuna, drained
- 1/6 small onion
- 2 strips of pickled radish (for kimbap)
- 2-3 sheets of seasoned seaweed (gim)
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds
- A pinch of parsley flakes (optional)
Seasoning- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 pinches of salt
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of black pepper
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 pinches of salt
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the onion and pickled radish, which will add texture to your rice balls. Finely dice the onion. Similarly, finely chop the pickled radish. This will create a pleasant chewiness when mixed with the rice.
Step 2
Drain the oil from the canned tuna as thoroughly as possible using a sieve. Removing the excess oil will prevent the rice balls from being too greasy and enhance the savory tuna flavor.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the 320g of warm cooked rice (about 1.5 bowls). Add the drained tuna, finely chopped onion and pickled radish, and the seasoned seaweed, crumbled with your hands until flaky. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 3 pinches of salt, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and a pinch of black pepper. Place all the ingredients into the bowl.
Step 4
Now, mix all the ingredients thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until everything is evenly combined. It’s important to mix gently to avoid mashing the rice grains.
Step 5
While you can certainly enjoy this mixture as is by scooping it with a spoon, shaping them into rice balls makes them even more special and fun to eat. Take advantage of the pleasant texture by forming them into round shapes!
Step 6
The size of the rice balls is entirely up to your preference. You can make them small and bite-sized, or create larger, more substantial portions. Feel free to shape them as you like! For an extra touch of visual appeal, you can sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds or parsley flakes on top.
