Instructions

Vegetable & spam rice ball

Peel carrot and dice in small pieces. Dice white onion and spam in small pieces. Make sure all the pieces are small and are relatively the same size. Cooking tip: Keep in mind that the more filling you make, the more rice you need. More filling can cause the rice ball to fall apart.
On a medium heat pan, add oil and spam. Cook for one minute and add onion and carrots. Once onions are translucent, add chopped spinach and rice.
Set aside rice. To make the rice ball, grab some rice and squeeze in a ball so the rice sticks together. Then gently roll in a ball. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Kimchi rice ball

Place kimchi in a bowl. Cut the kimchi with scissors into small pieces. Mince garlic.
On a medium heat pan, add oil, garlic, and kimchi. Saute for one minute. Next, add cooked rice. Then add soy sauce, fish sauce, gochujang, sugar and sesame oil. Mix everything together until well combined.
Set aside rice. To make the rice ball, grab some rice and squeeze in a ball so the rice sticks together. Then gently roll in a ball.
Grab some roasted seaweed and gently crush into small pieces. Roll the rice ball in the seaweed and garnish with sesame seeds.
