How to make Yaki Onigiri (Grilled Rice Balls)
-
Add the rice and the water to a pan. Bring to the boil, cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes
-
Remove pan from the heat and leave to stand for 10 minutes
-
Sprinkle over the Sushi seasoning and stir through
-
Leave to cool for a few minutes until you can comfortably handle the rice
-
Divide the mix into 6 even portions
-
Mould each portion into a triangular shape squeezing the rice well to compact it.
-
Add a tsp of oil to a griddle pan. Heat until hot. Place the Onigiri into the pan and griddle for 5- 7 minutes. Turn over and grill the other side for 5-7minutes.
-
Remove from the pan and coat both sides with soy sauce. Return to the pan for 3-4 minutes to crisp up
-
Remove from the griddle pan and serve with a soy sauce to dip
-
If desired the Onigiri can have a filling such as pickled radish or Sushi Ginger. When forming the shapes press filling into the middle and ensure it is well hidden in the centre
-
Can also be served with other dips of your choice such as Siracha mayonnaise or Sweet Chilli
