ONIGIRI (JAPANESE RICE BALLS)
Rice shaped in triangles or balls filled with your favorite ingredients. Common fillings are pickled plums or salmon but just about anything salty will work and plain is also very tasty. A tasty alternative to the American sandwich and a staple for any bento (Japanese boxed lunch). Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Combine 2 cups water, rice, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking, until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Fluff with a fork; cool rice until easily handled, about 10 minutes.
- Fill a small bowl with water. Place 2 tablespoons of salt in another small bowl.
- Dip hands in water and rub salt over hands. Take a handful of warm rice and form it into a ball. Gently squish ball; with your hands in an "L" or "C" shape, apply gentle pressure to the sides to make a triangle shape.
- Wrap a strip of nori around the triangle, using a bit of water to help it stick if necessary.

Steps:
- Wash the rice in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Combine washed rice and 4 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer rice until the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rice rest, for 15 minutes to allow the rice to continue to steam and become tender. Allow cooked rice to cool.
- Combine 1 cup water with the salt in a small bowl. Use this water to dampen hands before handling the rice. Divide the cooked rice into 8 equal portions. Use one portion of rice for each onigiri.
- Divide one portion of rice in two. Create a dimple in the rice and fill with a heaping teaspoon of bonito flakes. Cover with the remaining portion of rice and press lightly to enclose filling inside rice ball. Gently press the rice to shape into a triangle. Wrap shaped onigiri with a strip of nori. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat to make a total of 8 onigiri.

Steps:
- Pour rice into a bowl and rinse under running water. Give it a good scrubbing with your hands; rinse off the starch and drain.
- Place rice in a small pot with water and salt. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and turn the burner to high. Cook for 2 minutes, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit with the lid on to fully absorb the moisture for 10 minutes. Transfer rice to a cutting board to cool slightly.
- Season flaked salmon with soy sauce.
- Flatten cooled rice into a rectangle and divide into 6 portions. Place a portion of salmon on top of each section of rice. Wet your hands and pick up a section of rice. Gently cup the rice around the filling; keep cupping until filling is completely covered and you've formed a ball. Mold the rice ball into a triangle shape by placing the bottom on one palm and flattening the back with your fingers. Bend the other hand and press the rice into a triangle on your palm, flattening the front side if needed. Place a strip of nori on the bottom of the onigiri to make it easier to pick up.
- Repeat to make remaining rice balls, wetting your hands as necessary to prevent the rice from sticking.

- First rinse 3 cups of short grain rice and then add it into the rice cooker. Fill with water until the 3 mark line* and allow the rice to cook. In the meantime, cut up some nori sheets (refer to information and photos above).
- Once the rice is finished cooking, let it rest for 5-10 minutes in the rice cooker. In the meantime, set up your work station. You should have a small bowl of salt, water, furikake and your fillings ready to be used. As well, keep a tray or container close by to place your finished rice balls on.
- Open the rice cooker than gently mix the rice and cover with a damp cloth. Bring it over to your work station.
- Filled Onigiri: Place some rice into a medium size bowl and sprinkle some salt over. Mix with the rice paddle. Place a small scoop of rice (just enough to fill the bottom part of the mold) and gently press it in. Make a small indent in the middle and place 1 umeboshi (or 1/2-1 tbsp of some kind of filling) in the indent. Cover with more rice until 3/4 of the way full and then place the lid on top. Gently press down until it's formed into a rice ball. Lightly wet your hands and dab your pointer finger and middle finger in the salt and rub between your hands. Place the rice ball between your hands and cup it (like if you were to hand-mold the onigiri). This just ensures the rice ball is salted throughout for preserving longer. Place onto a tray or container and cover with a damp cloth. Repeat until you make as many as you desire.

- Spicy Tuna Onigiri. While many onigiri recipes require a trip to the Asian market, these spicy tuna rolls don’t require hard-to-find ingredients. It pairs sushi-grade rice and nori with a can of tuna and spicy seasoning.
- Kombu Tsukudani Onigiri (Simmered Kelp “Tsukadini” Rice Ball. If you have ever made dashi for ramen, there is likely a container of kombu in your pantry somewhere.
- Plum Rice Ball. I have tried and failed, on many occasions, stuffing onigiri. It’s harder than you think! These plum rice balls are a must-try if tedious stuffing isn’t your thing.
- Charred Corn Onigiri. What I love most about these charred corn onigiri is they’re simple and packed with so much flavor. Charring corn offers sweet umami flavors that pair perfectly with steamed rice.
- Chicken Katsu Onigirazu. Chicken katsu translates to breaded chicken cutlets. While most onigiri makes a perfect snack, these hearty onigirazu work as an entire meal.
- Salmon Onigiri. If you love salmon sushi, you’ll love this delicious salmon onigiri! Don’t worry, you don’t need sushi-grade salmon. Since it uses cooked salmon, any store-bought salmon fillet will do.
- Yaki Onigiri. Are you scrolling furiously, looking for cheese? Look no further! These grilled yaki onigiris are cheesy, grilled, and melt in your mouth.
- Kimchi Cheese Rice Balls. These kimchi cheese rice balls have a little bit of everything. They’re spicy, cheesy, crunchy, gooey, and slightly sweet. It’s the perfect snack that is surprisingly filling.
- Mentaiko Mayo Yaki Onigiri. Mentaiko is marinated cod roe or pollock with a gentle flavor that isn’t overpowering. Mentaiko mayo is rich and flavorful, and it pairs perfectly with rice.
- Miso Grilled Onigiri with Green Tea (Ochazuke Style) I love miso. It’s bright and salty with just a touch of sweetness. These miso-grilled onigiri balls are crunchy and sweet on the outside, with tender, savory umami flavors on the inside.
