Tuna Tofu Rice Balls (Chamchi Dubu Jumeokbap)

Steps

Translated from the Korean original. Amounts are as in the original recipe.

1. Put the tofu in a large bowl and place a heavy bowl filled with water on top for 3 minutes to remove moisture.
2. Scoop a square hollow out of the tofu, then squeeze the scooped-out tofu dry and mash it.
3. Finely chop the bell pepper and perilla leaves.
4. Drain the canned tuna in a sieve, then pour hot water over it to remove the oil and salt.
5. In a bowl, combine the mashed tofu, prepared vegetables, multigrain rice, and tuna, add the seasonings, and mix evenly.
6. Shape the rice mixture into round balls and place them in the hollowed-out tofu to finish.
