Kimchi Tuna Rice Balls

This recipe idea came easy for me, as I just tossed all of my favourite ingredients into a bowl, mixed it and formed into rice balls.

When it comes to rice balls, it’s really up to you – you can add more of your fave ingredients, or you can even take out, switch sauces and so on. With this one, I decided to add diced up kimchi so that it would add more flavour into the classic tuna rice balls that people in Korea love eating.

How long can I store it for?

I get this question asked a lot when I share rice ball or onigiri recipes, but I always just suggest having it on the day you make it. If you are planning to have it later, especially for onigiris, I suggest wrapping it up and then leaving it in the fridge for 7 ish hours and then microwaving for about 20 seconds before eating. If you decide to leave it out on the counter, still make sure it’s sealed, but have it within 3 hours.
