School Lunch in Korea Update

Having ju muck bahb aka rice balls for school lunch was a first for me. It was awesome and I'm sure the kids liked them.
What is ju muck bahb? "Ju muck" means "fist" in English, so we can actually call them fist rice. They are made by clumping the fried rice and seaweed into balls using your fist. Easy, right? Fist rice balls is a very literal name.

  1. That rice ball looks very tasty, and that's a pretty carb-rich food. I'm glad the lunch period is the last period of the day, or else food coma would hit at such an inopportune time. Hehe.
