Whole Bacon King Rice Balls
Spicy Whole Bacon Giant Rice Balls!
These are ‘King Rice Balls’ so big they’re hard to fit in one bite, made with whole bacon and a spicy kick! I wanted spicy rice balls, so I finely chopped some hot peppers and mixed them in. The richness of the bacon is perfectly balanced by the spicy peppers, creating a truly harmonious flavor. Let me share the recipe for these Giant Whole Bacon Rice Balls!
Ingredients
- 3 bowls of cooked white rice
- 1 whole bacon pepper (choose a plump one)
- Sesame seeds, as needed
- A little sesame oil
- 1 packet of roasted seaweed (gim)
- 3 hot peppers (e.g., Cheongyang peppers)
- 2 pairs of disposable gloves
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
These are all the ingredients you’ll need to make the Giant Whole Bacon Rice Balls.
Step 2
First, wash the hot peppers thoroughly and mince them finely. Also, use scissors to cut the roasted seaweed into small pieces. This preparation ensures they’ll mix well into the rice.
Step 3
Next, cut the whole bacon into pieces that are suitable for topping the rice balls. Aim for a thickness that allows for a satisfying bite, similar to how you’d cut meat.
Step 4
I’ve cut the whole bacon thickly so that it has a chewy texture, almost like biting into a piece of meat!
Step 5
Place the cut bacon pieces on a baking sheet. We’ll bake them in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 20 minutes. If you don’t have an oven, you can pan-fry the bacon until golden brown on both sides, flipping frequently.
Step 6
Be sure to bake the whole bacon at 200°C (392°F) in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Ensure the oven is set to both upper and lower heat during this time.
Step 7
While the bacon is baking, let’s prepare the rice for the rice balls. Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the 3 bowls of cooked white rice.
Step 8
Add a generous amount of sesame seeds as well. They add a wonderful nutty flavor and texture.
Step 9
Now, mix in the finely minced hot peppers. This is what will give our rice balls their delicious spicy kick!
Step 10
Add the roasted seaweed that you’ve cut into small pieces. It adds a savory depth to the rice.
Step 11
Put on a pair of disposable gloves and gently mix all the ingredients into the rice. Make sure everything is evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite.
Step 12
And there you have it! The seasoned rice for your Giant Rice Balls is ready.
Step 13
Meanwhile, the whole bacon has finished baking to perfection in the oven!
Step 14
Transfer the beautifully golden-brown baked whole bacon to a plate. It looks incredibly appetizing.
Step 15
Now, let’s assemble the Giant Whole Bacon Rice Balls using the seasoned rice and the freshly baked bacon.
Step 16
Take a portion of the rice and shape it into a ball. Aim for a size that’s substantial but still manageable to eat.
Step 17
Top the rice ball with a piece of the whole bacon. Repeat this process for the remaining rice. You’ve now created a delicious Giant Whole Bacon Rice Ball!
Step 18
Voilà! A total of 15 Giant Whole Bacon Rice Balls have been made! Just looking at them makes me feel hungry. ♥
Step 19
These are truly ‘King’ sized rice balls! I made each one with about two spoonfuls of rice, so they’re quite filling.
Step 20
These cute yet impressively large Giant Whole Bacon Rice Balls are ready to be tasted. Let’s take a bite!
Step 21
The vibrant green of the hot peppers, the glistening sesame seeds, and the seaweed mixed into the rice create a beautiful, appetizing color.
Step 22
The whole bacon itself has a peppery, slightly spicy flavor, and with the added hot peppers in the rice, the spiciness is perfectly balanced and incredibly delicious! You don’t even need to season the rice separately; the bacon provides enough saltiness to make these rice balls wonderfully tasty. You absolutely must try them!
