Method
 

How to Make Salmon Rice Balls
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the steamed rice, salmon flakes, soy sauce, sesame oil, and toasted black sesame seeds until everything is well incorporated.
  2. Lightly oil a pair of plastic gloves to prevent the rice from sticking to your hands, ensuring a smooth shaping process.
  3. With the rice mixture still warm, take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and gently squeeze it to form a compact ball.
  4. Continue shaping the remaining mixture into balls. Sprinkle additional toasted black sesame seeds on top for garnish and added flavor.
