Put 3 cups of cooked rice in a large bowl while it is still warm, which makes shaping easier.
Crumble 2 sheets of toasted seaweed and add them to the rice.
Mix in the sesame seeds and sesame oil so the rice grains become glossy.
Wet your hands and press the rice into firm balls so they do not fall apart.
Let the balls rest for 5 minutes, then place them in the serving box.
💡 Tip: Lightly wetting your hands helps shape the rice without it sticking or tearing apart.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the rice balls at room temperature with kimchi on the side.
