Snowman Rice Balls (Jumeokbap) for Christmas!

JinJoo — Sat, 03 Dec 2022 18:03:58 +0000

[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.

Injeolmi (Korean Sweet Rice Cake) in 10 minutes

JinJoo — Mon, 22 Jun 2020 20:24:16 +0000

Injeolmi is a popular Korean rice cake that's perfectly soft, chewy and just slightly sweet. And nutty too with the soybean powder coating. You may have thought that this can only be made by professional tteok makers but with my recipe, you can make it easily at home (with no special equipment) in less than 10 minutes!

What is Injeolmi?

Injeolmi 인절미 is a type of Korean rice cake made with glutinous rice. Traditionally, sweet sticky rice is steamed, then pounded until it becomes a nice blob 😝 with a chewy texture which we call Tteok 떡. This method of making tteok normally takes hours when you include hours of soaking the sweet rice, then steaming and then pounding.

The tteok is then cut into smaller pieces and often coated with either roasted soybean powder 볶은 콩가루 Bokkeun Kongaru, ground black sesame seeds or cooked (unsweetened) Azuki red beans (팥 paat). This rice cake is also eaten without any coating but just by itself, dipped in honey or sugar.

Note, there are 2 different categories of Korean Tteok based on what kind of rice is used. Chapssal Tteok (찹쌀떡) are rice cakes that are made using glutinous/sweet/sticky rice, this includes tteok like Hwajeon 화전, Bukkumi 부꾸미, Kyeongdan 경단, and of course Injeolmi. Maepssal Tteok (멥쌀떡) are made using regular short-grain rice and some common ones are Songpyeon 송편, Sirutteok 시루떡, Hobaktteok 호박떡, Danja 단자, Sultteok 술떡 and more.
