Feed Zone Portables: Baked Rice Balls

When serving up portables at Ironman Hawaii, we didn’t have our trailer along, so we set up shop in a pizza joint. We served up ham & pineapple rice balls because we wanted to give the triathletes a smaller bite. You can make a quick batch of baked rice balls using 2–3 cups of warm rice left over from dinner. Pick your flavor combination, pulse in a food processor, and press a fistful of tasty sticky rice into whatever shape you like.

If you like the lighter texture of baked rice balls, try making your favorite rice cake into a ball.
