Season the rice

• Place the warm cooked rice in a bowl.
• Add the gochujang, tteokbokki sauce, salt and sesame oil and mix until evenly coated.

Shape the rice balls

• Take a portion of rice in your hand and flatten it slightly.
• Put shredded mozzarella in the center, then close the rice around it and roll into a ball.
• Repeat with the remaining rice and cheese.

Coat with sesame seeds

• Roll the rice balls in the sesame seeds so they stick all over.

Air fry

• Place the rice balls in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
• Air fry at 125 °C until the cheese melts and the outside is lightly crisp.

Serve

• Serve the rice balls warm while the cheese is melted.
