Ruling a criminal empire is no small feat, but it’s easier with your sibling by your side. In honor of National Siblings Day on April 10, these flavorful rice balls recreate the entrance of the Twins — whose approach can’t be ignored due to their grandiose arrival.
The one and only Hutt siblings’ unforgettable appearance in The Book of Boba Fett is enhanced by flecks of savory furikake rice seasoning, with well placed mango slices for eyes to survey all that is theirs rule over.
Bring these delicious snacks as an offering to the true daimyo, to ensure peace within the lands.
The Twins Rice Balls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups short grain white rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon pink ginger furikake
- 1 tablespoon green nori furikake
- 1 small piece nori (dried seaweed)
- 1 small slice mango
- 4 black sesame seeds
Step 1: Rinse the rice until water runs clear.
Step 2: In a large saucepan add the rice and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat, then simmer for 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat, let sit for 10 minutes, covered.
Step 3: Fluff rice and let cool slightly. Divide the rice evenly onto two sheets of plastic wrap. Use the plastic wrap to form the shapes of both Hutts.
Step 4: Unwrap and sprinkle with furikake seasoning, one pink, and one green. Set aside.
Step 5: Cut the seaweed into the shape of a mouth and nostrils and place onto the rice balls.
Step 6: Cut mango into 4 small eye shapes and place onto each rice ball. Place a black sesame seed into the center of the mango to create the pupil. Serve immediately.
So ready a litter. The Twins Rice Balls will make a grand entrance for your next meal.
