Korean rice ball, where Jumeokbap means “fist rice” in Korean, refers to tightly packed rice balls that are a popular snack or side dish in Korea. I think Jumeokbap is one of the easiest lunches you can make! All you need is vegetables, cooked rice, sesame oil, and sesame seeds, mix it with your favorite fillings, roll it in a ball, and serve! making it super easy to make rice balls for the whole family to enjoy! This dish especially goes well with spicy foods (if you like spicy food).
1. In a bowl, mix well canned tuna with mayonnaise and salt, set aside. 2. Sautee diced carrot over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Transfer the carrot to a mixing bowl. 3. Add cooked rice, sesame oil, crushed seaweed, and sesame seeds to a mixing bowl then mix until well combined.
4. Take about 2 tbsp of rice mixture then flatten it on your hand, place about ½-1 tbsp of tuna filling or ground beef bulgogi then carefully wrap until the filling is fully covered and shape the rice into a ball. Korean rice balls are ready to serve, enjoy!
