Hi Maangchi!
Can I use Nori? It’s very hard to get gim paper here…
Nori is gim in Japanese.
I made this for my lunch a few days ago. It was delicious! I didn’t have the right kind of rice and I couldn’t get it to stick together, so I just mixed the seaweed flakes in and it was great!
Hi Manucho
I want to make this dish can you give me a idea to substitute the red pepper paste cause my son can’t eat spicy food yet. Thanks!
You don’t need to use any sauce actually. In Korea it’s common to make jumeokbap with mayonaise, tuna and/or kimchi inside and outside only the seaweed, no other sauce added so maybe you can replace gochujang by that.
Hi maangchi! I sometimes buy this seaweed mixture at H Mart. I love it tossed over rice. It tastes a little sweet- I might add s pinch of sugar. Also the flakes of seaweed are a little larger. I will experiment!
Thanks,
Lisa
Lisa,
I’m curious about your experiment. Please share your experiment with me and my readers.
Hi Maangchi
Last night I just started pre-cooking. I cooked octupus for Takoyaki, portioned it and froze it (so I have it when I want Takoyaki), made cheddar-cheese-broccoli-tots and while I am at it I thought why not cook rice for the this delicious recipe. I cooked and preshaped the rice and fried it this morning and toped it with the seeweed-sesame mix.
I had to split my lunch in two boxes but in this picture you see the rice ball and the tots.
I guess it is time for the to buy a big bento box :-).
Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe.

ups, I just remembered I forgot to brush hot chilli past on the ball. But I have sweet chillie sauce with me. I guess thats ok too,or? But they taste great. Thank you Maangchi for teaching us so well und with so much fun and love.
What a great looking dosirak it is! : )
This looks amazing!! When you tasted it and I heard that crunch OMG I have to have some now!! Fantastic recipe as always. And you look beautiful in that green blouse.
P.S. Pleeeeeaaase share what brand of short grain rice you use!
I’m sure you will make beautiful rice balls with the seaweed flakes!
I don’t have any particular brand of rice I prefer and I’m still looking for the best brand of rice. I used a Japanese brand for this recipe. http://amzn.to/1SAI49o
Oh thank you so much Maangchi, I’ve been dying to know what brand you use! I use this one and really love it but it’s hard to come by http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sun-Valley-Premium-Rice-Megumi/dp/B00IES4UBA
Hi Maangchi, you never disappoint me! What a wonderful creation! It’s a great idea to bring to work as lunch box! Thanks for sharing your invention
