Rice Balls

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
2 teaspoons Black Sesame Seeds
1-2/3 ounces Smoked Salmon, chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped Pickled Ginger
2 Green Onions, peeled, finely chopped
4 cups cooked Short-Grain White Rice, still warm

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Dry roast the sesame seeds in a frying pan over low heat, constantly shaking the pan, for 1-2 minutes, or until seeds begin to pop.

Combine the salmon, ginger and green onions in a small bowl. Using wet hands, form 1/3 cup rice into a ball; push 2 teaspoonfuls of the salmon mixture into center of rice and reform a ball around it. Repeat with the remaining rice and salmon; keep hands wet to prevent rice from becoming sticky.

Arrange the balls on a serving platter and sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
