These rice balls do not need a complicated presentation. Warm rice, egg, spinach, and a little sesame come together in a shape you can pick up and take along. If you have leftover rice from the night before, or want a simple lunch to prepare in the morning, they make the question of what to eat a little more concrete.
Make 6 small rice balls
- 2 cups warm cooked rice
- 2 eggs, scrambled and cooled
- 1 cup finely chopped spinach, quickly cooked until soft and cooled
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame, a pinch of salt, and 2 nori sheets cut into strips
Mix, then shape
- Gently combine the rice, egg, spinach, sesame, and salt.
- Wet your hands lightly, divide the mixture into 6 portions, and gently shape each into a triangle or round ball.
- Wrap each one with a strip of nori just before eating. Add soy sauce or chili sauce on the side if that suits your taste.
