> For lunch today, I made onigiri rice balls. These may look clumsy, but they're an easy Japanese fast food to make.
> Rice, seaweed, sesame, shiso (perilla leaf), and salt - the simple ingredients in these onigiri.
> I used Calrose rice, a medium-grain rice grown in California.

Trying to keep my mind occupied, so I just keep cooking.
How to Make #Onigiri
- Cook short-grain rice with a rice cooker, pot over the stove, Instant Pot, or donabe.
- Using a mold or your hands, make rice balls. Don’t forget to salt rice balls for food safety. Fillings are optional and I share how to stuff #riceballs with a filling in the recipe card.
- Wrap the rice ball with nori seaweed.
Onigiri #Filling
- shake [pronounced as sha-keh] (salted #salmon)
- umeboshi (Japanese pickled plum)
okaka (bonito flakes moistened with soy sauce)
- kombu (simmered kombu seaweed)
- #tunamayo (canned tuna with Japanese mayonnaise)
- mentaiko or tarako ((spicy) #saltedcod roe)

My second batch of rice balls came out perfect (of substance).
I can't recommend this enough. Just boil your long grained rice as you normally do (though you can add spices, if you like) and then wrap individual spoonfuls tightly in cellophane and let these rest for a couple of hours in the fridge, when they have cooled enough.

Attached: 1 image More #riceballs experimenting: 175gr #JasmineRice 300gr water 1 vegetable stock cube Paste: 1gr cardamom seeds 11gr garlic 12gr ginger 18gr spring onion white 1/2tsp salt 1/2tsp sesame oil 1/2tsp furikake 1/4tsp chilli flakes 1/2tsp turmeric 2tbsp sunflower oil I bIitzed & sautéd the paste ingredient in the #InstantPot, stirred the rice through it, then added water & stock cube. They will rest in the fridge for 2 hours. I'll also freeze a few, to see how well they deal with that.
