2 cups uncooked sushi rice
3 cups water
1 ½ cups ground beef, 90%
2 ½ tablespoons soy sauce, divided
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons green onion, chopped
2 ½ teaspoons sesame oil, divided
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons nori furikake, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon canola oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
sesame seed, for garnish

Steps:

Add the sushi rice to a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear.
Add the rice and 3 cups of water to a rice cooker. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the rice has finished cooking, let cool until safe to handle.
Meanwhile, add the ground beef, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, the brown sugar, garlic, green onions, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and black pepper to a medium bowl and mix well to combine. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the rice has cooled.
Heat the canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef mixture and cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, furikake, remaining ½ tablespoon soy sauce, remaining ½ teaspoon sesame oil, and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt and mix until well combined.
Add the cooked ground beef to the rice mixture and gently stir until evenly incorporated. Season with more salt to taste.
Shape the rice balls: Scoop ¼ cup of the rice mixture into your hands and roll into a ball. Repeat with the remaining rice mixture.
Garnish the rice balls with sesame seeds and furikake.
Enjoy!
