Ingredients
1 1/2cupssteamed short-medium grain white rice
2 1/2tbspsalmon flakes
1/2tspsoy sauce
1/4tspsesame oil
1/2tsptoasted black sesame seeds, more for garnish
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix rice, salmon flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black sesame until incorporated.
Put a plastic glove on one hand. Add a little bit of oil to the plastic glove so that the rice does not stick. When the rice is warm enough to handle (not cold), put 2 tablespoons of rice on your palm and squeeze lightly until the rice sticks together. Shape it into a ball.
Repeat until the rice is finished. Garnish with black sesame.
Notes
To make salmon flakes: season a salmon fillet with salt. Cook it in the oven or over a stovetop until fully cooked. Shred the meaty part finely with a fork.Make sure to strain the salmon oil and don't put too much sesame oil into the rice. If you put too much oil, the rice balls will be loose and not sticky enough to hold together.
