Method

  1. 1 Cook the rice slightly softer than usual so it's easier for it to stick together.
  2. 2 Grind roasted sesame seeds and shelled roasted peanuts together with salt to make sesame salt.
  3. 3 Place hot rice in a clean, damp cloth, wrap it up, then press and roll it to make the rice stick together tightly.
  4. 4 Press the rice into a long, round shape, and let it cool until the surface is slightly dry.
  5. 5 Slice the rice ball into thick rounds, then dip or roll it in sesame salt.
