Rice Balls (Jumeokbap / Fan Tuan): Hands-On and Fun

Jumeokbap, or Korean rice balls, are the perfect hands-on food. With just rice, salt, sesame oil, and seaweed, you can shape them by hand — no stove required if your rice is already cooked. That makes them fun, interactive, and a great starting point for anyone new to cooking. They're mostly carbs and fats, which makes them a nice opportunity to talk about portion control too. This is the recipe we chose for our very first club event.
