Cooking times will vary.

I do the following:

While the rice cooks, I prep the chicken and peas


Soak the rice for 20 minutes prior to cooking.
Cook in a heavy bottomed pan however the bag says to cook it.

In large bowl mix cooked rice, olive oil, mashed peas until well blended.

In a second small bowl mix some water with salt.

Wet with salt water, wet your hand with salt water.
Spoon rice in until about half full, pack down.
Add a small amount of chicken.
Fill cup with more rice, pat down.

Wet a plate with salt water (not a puddle, just damp)

Put rice ball on the plate.

Repeat until you have 8 of the 1/2 cup rice balls made.
