If you start to get bored with an ordinary blob of rice on your dinner plate, why don't you make these cute little balls of rice, and tuck a special something inside. These are great to pack on the go for a child or grown-up's lunch, or they can be a fun and tasty accompaniment to just about any dinner.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup brown rice, cooked according to package instructions ( I use sprouted brown rice)
- 1/4 cup white and/or black sesame seeds
- sea salt, to taste
- Optional items to tuck in the middle: avocado (my favorite), chopped slivered almonds, cubed chicken, etc.
- Optional: Coconut aminos for dipping
DIRECTIONS:
Lay out a section of plastic wrap, and sprinkle the center with sea salt and sesame seeds. Using a cookie scoop, scoop up some cooked rice and place on top of sesame seeds. Place your optional ingredient into center of rice pile, and gather all ends of plastic wrap to shape into ball. Repeat and eat!
Makes approximately 12 rice balls
(please note: If you're making these ahead of time and are using avocados, just toss the avocados in lemon juice before placing them into rice).

This is an incredible blog. Nothing beats brown rice balls! An umeboshi plum would be delish in the center too :)
