Rice Balls

4 Cups cooked Short grain brown rice

about 3 umeboshi plums

2 sheets of toasted nori

roasted sesame seeds

A great use for fresh or leftover rice.

Set aside a bowl of lightly salted water. Dip hands in and while damp pick up a small handful of rice. Form rice into a ball by squeezing between hands passing back and forth until it’s a solid ball. Press a hole in the center of the ball with your finger and fill with a small piece of umeboshi plum. Then close over the hole and gently roll ball in sesame seeds or cover with a small square of nori. Continue until all rice is used.
