simple onigiri recipe

Tuna Mayo Onigiri Rice Ball (シーチキンマヨおにぎり)

Can of Tuna

tbsp Mayonnaise

tsp Soy sauce

First, cook your rice. Use short grain white rice, preferably Japanese sushi rice or something similar. You need the rice to be sticky so that it holds it shape. We recommend using a rice cooker or see how to cook Japanese rice on the stove here.

For the filling, mix 1 small can (80g) of tuna with 1 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tsp soy sauce in a small bowl.

Set up your onigiri shaping station. You should have your cooked rice, a bowl of water and ice and a small bowl of salt. Nori is optional too.

Wash your hands well and then submerge them into the bowl of icy cold water for about 15-20 seconds. This stops the rice sticking to your hands.

Rub 1-2 pinches of salt over the palms your hands. This not only adds the flavour to the rice ball, but also acts as a preservative whilst it's in your lunchbox.

Take a handful of warm cooked rice and start to press it quite flat.

In the centre of the rice ball, make a dent and put a teaspoon of the filling into the dent.

Now fold the rice over the filling and close the edges.

If you press and turn, press and turn, press and turn, you should make a good firm triangle shape.

Don't handle the rice for too long, quicker is better. Once you're happy with the shape, wrap it with nori.

Put your hands back in the icy water and repeat. This recipe makes 5-6 rice balls (depending on size).

Eat straight away or put in your lunch box with an ice pack. They're best eaten the same day.

Making onigiri rice balls can be annoying, but if you know some tips and procedures, it won't be so hard!
When I was at school, I always made these for lunch myself so I thought I might be able to contribute to some extent!


Enjoy!

How to make Lawson Conbini style "Devil's Onigiri" with aonori and tenkasu.

"Devil's Onigiri" Rice Ball with Aonori and Tenkasu 

/ ½ cup Tenkasu (tempura crumbs)

tbsp Aonori (powdered nori seaweed)

tbsp Tsuyu Sauce (see how to make your own tsuyu here.)

bowl of ice cold water

salt

Add ½ cup (40g) tenkasu, 6 tbsp aonori and 3 tbsp of tsuyu to a large bowl and mix.

Once all the liquid is absorbed, add 600g (3 cups) of cooked rice to the bowl.

Mix well until all of the ingredients are spread evenly through the rice.

Divide the rice into 4-6 portions (depending on how big you want the onigiri to be).

Prepare a bowl of ice cold water and a small bowl with 1 tbsp salt.

Wash your hands well and then submerge them into the bowl of icy cold water for about 15-20 seconds. This stops the rice sticking to your hands. (See note if you don't want to handle the rice)

Rub 1-2 pinches of salt over the palms your hands. This not only adds the flavour to the rice ball, but also acts as a preservative whilst it’s in your lunchbox.

Take a handful of the rice mixture and start to press it together, pressing the edges to form a triangle shape. If you press and turn, press and turn, press and turn, you should make a good firm triangle shape. (See our video on how to shape onigiri if you are unsure.)

Don’t handle the rice for too long, quicker is better. Once you’re happy with the shape it's finished. (This onigiri doesn't have nori on it as there is already aonori in the rice.)

Put your hands back in the icy water and repeat. This recipe makes 4-6 rice balls (depending on size).

Eat straight away or put in your lunch box with an ice pack. They’re best eaten the same day.

These were a hit amongst my friends. I will be making these again. (I'm actually making them right now)
