I need a good recipe for rice balls...?

This is my favourite recipe for Japanese Onigiri (rice ball). This recipe is very simple and easy.

Ingredients

• 5 cups hot cooked Japanese style short-grain rice

• 4 sheets dried nori seaweed

For the Filling

• dried bonito flakes (moistened in soy sauce)

• salted salmon grilled

• umeboshi (pickled plums)

• 2 Tbsp black sesame seeds toasted

Method

1. Wash and cook the rice. Onigiri is made while the rice is still hot.

2. Slightly toast the nori sheets and cut sheets crosswise into 1-inch widths.

3. Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry frying pan.

4. Prepare your different fillings

- the salted salmon should be broken up into small pieces

- pit the umeboshi (pickled plums)

5. Form the triangles – When handling the hot rice, keep your hands moistened with salty water to season the rice slightly and keep it from sticking to your hands.

6. Place a handful of rice (about ½ cup) across the bent fingers of your left hand. Make an indentation in the rice and tuck in about a tsp of one of the fillings (Salmon. Plum, or Bonito flakes).

7. Use your index finger, middle finger, and thumb to mold the triangular shape.

8. Set the rice triangles down on their bases and cover each with a strip of nori seaweed.

9. Sprinkle one or both ends with the sesame seeds.

4 cups steamed Japanese rice

salt to taste

black sesame seeds

strips of dried nori seaweed

for fillings (optional):

ume (pickled plum) / grilled salted salmon (small chunks) / katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) seasoned with soy sauce

Put about a half cup of steamed rice in a rice bowl. Wet your hands in water so that the rice won't stick. Rub some salt on your hands. Place the steamed rice on your hand and put your favorite filling, such as umeboshi or grilled salmon on the rice. Push the filling into the rice lightly. Hold the rice between your palms. Form the rice into a round, a triangle, or a cylinder by pressing lightly with your both palms. Roll the rice ball on your hands a few times, pressing lightly. Wrap the rice ball with a strip of nori or sprinkle some sesame seeds on them.

Makes 8 rice balls.

you'll be able to desire to apply strawberries as a filling and coat them in nuts. i think of coconut pairs okay with rice too. in line with hazard hit upon a straight forward coconut custard recipe for the filling, and comprise toasted coconut in to the rice. For meat, i like to apply tuna mixed with a sprint wasabi mayo. Leftover taco meat and pulled beef is sturdy too.
