🍙 Simple Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls) Recipe/英語でレシピ

Ingredients (Makes 3–4 Onigiri)

• 2 cups Japanese short-grain rice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• Salt to taste
• Filling of your choice (e.g. tuna mayo, pickled plum (umeboshi), grilled salmon)
• Nori (seaweed sheets), cut into strips

Instructions

1. Cook the rice
   Rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear. Drain.
   Cook the rice using a rice cooker or in a pot with 2 1/2 cups of water. Let it rest for 10 minutes after cooking.
2. Prepare the filling
   Choose your favorite filling. For example:
   • Tuna mayo: Mix canned tuna with mayonnaise and a little soy sauce.
   • Umeboshi: Just remove the seed.
   • Grilled salmon: Flake the cooked salmon and remove bones.
3. Shape the onigiri
   Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then rub a pinch of salt on your palms.
   Take a handful of rice, make a small dent in the center, and place some filling inside.
   Gently shape the rice into a triangle or round ball, covering the filling completely.
4. Wrap with nori
   Wrap a strip of nori around the rice ball just before eating (to keep it crisp), or wrap it right away for a softer texture.

Tips

• Don’t press too hard when shaping—onigiri should be firm but fluffy.
• You can also mix seasoning into the rice, like furikake or chopped herbs.

Enjoy your homemade onigiri!
