Making Onigiri With Niki and Carol @ N/Naka

Posted by Dr. Ben Kim on Jul 09, 2019

In Korean cuisine, we call these balls of flavoured rice "Joo Mohk Bap," which translates to Fist Rice, as each ball of rice is about the size of a small fist.

Before South Korea rose to become the economic powerhouse that it is today, Joo Mohk Bap was a staple in children's lunch boxes. Today, Joo Mohk Bap is making a comeback of sorts with added textures and flavours as shown above.

If you wish to learn more about Niki and how she came to create N/Naka in southern California, check out her episode in season one Chef's Table on Netflix.
