Ingredients:

  • 3 cup Sunwhite Medium Grain Rice (cooked)

  • ⅓ cup Seaweed Seasoning

  • 1½ tsp Toasted Sesame Oil

  • ½ Small Carrot (finely diced)

  • Tuna Mayo Filling

  • 140 g Canned Tuna (drained)

  • 1½ tbsp Japanese Mayonnaise

  • Salt & Pepper (to taste)

Method

  • For the tuna mayo filling, add the canned tuna and Japanese mayonnaise to a small bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Sauté the finely diced carrots with a bit of oil until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the carrots and toasted sesame oil to the warm rice and mix.

  • Take 2 tablespoons of rice and gently flatten it against your hand. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling to the center and top it with a bit of rice. Gently but firmly shape the rice into a ball while encasing the filling. Tip: Apply a bit of vegetable oil to food-safe gloves for easy handling.

  • Roll each rice ball in seaweed seasoning.

  • Serve and enjoy

Medium Grain

White medium grain rice is a round, tender and succulent grain, allowing it to lock in moisture when it is cooked. This rice is often used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess, like paella or risotto. It is also ideal in your favourite Middle Eastern, Korean and Spanish dishes.
