Onigiri

— Chef's Note —

"Nothing beats a jelly-filled donut!" - Brock

Onigiri are Japanese rice balls. They come in a variety of fillings, including chicken, tuna, and salmon. More traditional fillings include bonito flakes and soy sauce, roe, and chopped Japanese pickles (tsukemono). You can also experiment with different shapes - round, square, trianglular, and so on.

Of course, if you think Brock would never lie to you, you can also try these rice ball donuts.

How to Make Onigiri

— Ingredients —

— Instructions —

Place the rice in a sieve and rinse under cold water (about two minutes).
Cook rice, preferably using a rice cooker. If boiling rice over the stove, bring pot of water and rice to a boil and let simmer until the rice has absorbed the water (about 12 minutes).
Let rice cool enough to be handled(about 5 minutes).
Using your hands, shape the rice into a ball that will fit in the palm of your hand.
Make a well in the rice and spoon in some filling.
Shape the ball to cover the filled well with rice.
Before eating, wrap the onigiri with seaweed(as in the above picture).
