Method5 steps · about 25 min

Step 1: Cut the one pound of Goteborg sausage into ⅛-inch rounds. Lay the slices in a single layer in a large pan and fry over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes on each side, until slightly crisp and curled into shallow cups. Work in batches if needed. Transfer the one cooked-sausage batch to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain its rendered fat.
Fry one sausage batch, turn halfway · 10 minUses 1 lb Goteborg sausage
Step 2: Spread the one measured 6 tbsp furikake supply on a plate for coating. Keep this one plate of seasoning for the rice-ball stage.
Uses 6 tbsp furikake for coating or sprinkling
Step 3: Use the 2 cups already cooked rice to form small balls with a spoon or ice-cream scoop, sized to sit on the fried sausage slices. Choose one seasoning style: gently roll each ball in the prepared furikake until coated, or leave the ball plain and reserve the same seasoning plate for sprinkling after assembly. Use only the actual furikake needed for the selected style.
Uses 2 cups already cooked short-grain Japanese or medium-grain California rice · Actual furikake drawn as needed for coating, or retained for the exclusive sprinkling route
Step 4: Place each prepared rice ball on one actual fried sausage slice. For the rolled version, add a second slice as a hat only if desired and available from the same cooked-sausage batch. For the plain-rice version, sprinkle with a little seasoning from the same furikake plate and leave it open. Serve promptly; the number of pieces depends on the rice-ball sizes and whether sausage hats are selected.
Uses Prepared rice balls using the chosen seasoning style · Actual fried sausage slices needed for bases and selected hats · Actual remaining furikake only for plain-rice sprinkling
Step 5: For actual leftovers, wrap and refrigerate promptly. Eat them the next day, as the author suggests. Remove the plastic, wrap a damp paper towel loosely around the selected portion and microwave for about 1 minute, continuing as needed until hot throughout at 165°F (74°C). Reheat directly from refrigeration rather than leaving it to warm on the counter.
