Jumeok-bap

Jumeok-bap (주먹밥; lit. "fist rice") or rice ball or Korean style onigiri is a lump of cooked rice made into a round loaf the shape of a fist.[1][2] Rice balls are a common item in dosirak (a packed meal) and often eaten as a light meal, between-meal snack, street food, or an accompaniment to spicy food.[3][4][5][6] The commercialization of Jumeok-bap began in earnest in 1990, when Japanese cuisine gradually spread to Korea and Onigiris were released. Although it did not receive special attention in the early years, it gained popularity as an inexpensive, easy-to-follow food during the 1997 Asian financial crisis. In the 2010s, a variety of forms of Jumeok-bap were released, including a round-shaped onigiri and a rice burger in the shape of a hamburger.
