Yaki Onigiri
Japanese grilled rice balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice, dry
- water to cook the rice
- 1 tsp sea salt
- coconut aminos, soy sauce or tamari for coating
Instructions
- Wash and rinse your sushi rice. Then cook using your preferred method, I use a rice cooker.
- Once your rice has cooled slightly, add the sea salt and gently mix, fluffing your rice.
- Add your rice to an onigiri press or form into triangles by hand. This will yield 8 rice balls.
- Heat a non-stick pan to medium high heat and place your onigiri. After 2 minutes sprinkle a little bit of coconut aminos then flip, so the sauce side is on the pan. Let cook 1-2 minutes. Repeat until each side has been seasoned at least twice and are golden.
- Take off the heat and serve with pickles and miso soup or salad. Enjoy!
