#ricecontest - These Korean Rice Balls are very easy and quick to dish out. They are called "Jumeokbap", which means fist balls. Very few ingredients, including seaweed goes into making these healthy snacks. Any leftover cooked rice can be turned into these simple and yummy Rice Balls. They can be served with soya sauce, red chilli sauce, tomato ketchup or any chutney a la Indian style.

Apart from the Koreans, Seaweed is widely used by the Japanese and the Chinese as well. It contains a lot of minerals, nutrients, iodine, calcium, is low in calories and helps in purifying the blood. So it is highly recommended for a well-balanced diet.

Cooked rice and seaweeds are the two main ingredients in this recipe. The Koreans, generally make use of sushi rice which is sticky and is perfect for making these balls. But in the absence of it, I used some cooked and mashed Basmati rice. It is the best way to serve fussy kids with their favorite dips or chutney. They can be packed for a lunch box meal too.
