Snowman Rice Balls (Jumeokbap) for Christmas!

[caption id="attachment_10553" align="aligncenter" width="833"] Snowman Rice Balls Christmas Treats[/caption]

Snowman Rice Balls?? Yes, it's you favorite Jumeokbap (주먹밥) in the shape of a snowman! I love making snowman in the winter, don't you? I love living in California but I do miss the snow here during the holiday time. I know this is a pretty last minute Christmas recipe idea but better late than never, right? And these rice balls really don't need a lot of time or special ingredients so hopefully it's something you can whip up, even if it's last minute. It would be great as a rice substitute for dinner or even as a snack for your children during your Christmas holidays! And you can have some fun making these with your little ones.

For a while now, I have been trying to come up with something fun to cook for Christmas or the holidays. I have searched through all my Korean cookbooks for dessert ideas but as you know there are no special Christmas foods in the Korean cuisine. So.. instead of desserts, I decided to make these cute Snowman Rice Balls (Jumeokbap)!! ⛄️ ❄️ ⛄️ The great thing about these special Snowman holiday theme rice treats is that it's actually not high calorie or too sweet but something that you can eat with your everyday meal. I'm sure you can make even more cute designs than mine here but not too bad, right? haha

The stuffing for these snowman rice balls were taken from my Jumeokbap post so please check that recipe on how to make the spam and ground beef stuffing. Although I have not included in this recipe, you can also stuff the rice balls with tuna+mayo, chopped kimchi, sauteed anchovies (myeolchi bokkeum), salmon flakes.. the possibilities are endless.

This post is a first for me in that I am asking you to watch the video for the details of how it is done rather than read my detailed recipe because trying to explain how you make the snowman would be way too hard to do with just words and pictures.
