Fun to make and eat, these jumeokbap, or Korean rice balls, are versatile, customizable, and convenient! They are a delicious way to transform leftovers into a quick snack or meal.
Heat skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and all the vegetables. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine rice with vegetables, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the rice mixture and flatten it. Add your filling (don't overstuff), top with a little more rice and shape into a compact ball. To make the process go faster and easier, use food-safe gloves coated with a little bit of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
Repeat until all the rice mixture is used up.
Notes
It is best to enjoy the day of as the rice will harden over time. However, you can store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. You can also turn leftovers into fried rice.
