👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Sauté the garlic until fragrant
- 2 Add the shredded chicken, sweet soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and salt
- 3 Stir well and cook for 3 minutes until the seasoning is absorbed, then remove from heat and set aside
- 4 Take a handful of rice and flatten it in your palm (wet your hands with salted water so it doesn't stick)
- 5 Place 1 tbsp of shredded chicken in the center
- 6 Cover with more rice, then shape into a triangle using both hands
- 7 Press gently to make it firm, but not too hard
- 8 Attach a strip of nori to the bottom of the triangle
- 9 Sprinkle sesame seeds on top
- 10 Repeat until the rice is used up — makes about 4-5 rice balls
💡 Tips
• Use rice that's slightly sticky (not dry/fluffy) so it holds its shape and doesn't fall apart
• Wet your hands with water and a bit of salt each time you shape a ball — it prevents sticking and adds extra flavor
• You can swap the filling for tuna mayo, salmon, or shredded meat (abon) for variety
• Wrap each rice ball individually in cling wrap to keep its shape neat in the lunchbox
