Step 1

If you haven't cooked your sushi rice yet, place 1 cup of rice into a pan with 1 cup of water. Place on the lid and turn up to high heat. Once the rice is boiling, turn the heat right down and put a timer on for 10 minutes. Don't take the lid off the pan. Once the 10 mins are up, leave the rice to cool.

Step 2

Get your leftover sushi rice and place it into a large bowl. Pour in the sesame oil, sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly and season to taste if it needs anything extra. Set aside.

Step 3

Drain the tin of tuna and combine in a bowl with your kimchi, mayonnaise, black pepper, and garlic granules.

Step 4

Place a tbsp of the rice mixture into your hand and pat down into a flat round shape. Add a spoonful of the Jumeokbap filling into the centre of the rice and then add another small scoop of rice on top. Gently form it into a round ball so that the rice is completely covering the filling. Set that aside onto a plate and repeat for the rest of the rice and filling. You should be able to make around 7-9 rice balls.

Step 5

Combine the togarashi seasoning and black sesame seeds in a small bowl. Coat the rice balls in the mixture and set aside.

Step 6

Place the sushi balls onto your serving plate. Drizzle with mayonnaise and optionally some tonkatsu sauce. Sprinkle with sliced spring onion then serve up and enjoy!
