Rice Balls

These are seaweed wrapped rice packets, yummy:) For a soy free version you can use pickled ginger in place of the miso.

Ingredients:

-2 cups sushi rice
-4 cups water
-2 tbsp miso or pickled ginger
-3 to 4 sheets Nori seaweed

Directions:

1. Cook rice as per directions--set aside to cool.
2. Fill a small bowl with water and wet both hands to stop rice from sticking.
3. Using hands, form 1/4 cup rice into a triangle. Spread 1/4 tsp miso or ginger on rice, covering all of rice; then cover with another 1/4 cup of rice, making sure that miso or pickled ginger is completely covered. Shape into one triangle.
4. Fold the Nori sheets in half and tear apart. Using half a sheet, wrap the rice triangle in nori, making sure to completely cover the rice. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
