Compared to ‘Onigiri’ (Japanese Rice Ball) that is shaped into a ball or a triangle by hands, ‘Onigirazu’ is shaped into a flat square and wrapped with Nori. This new food has no rule at all about the filling. Today I used leftover Sushi Rice to make this delicious Smoked Salmon ‘Onigirazu’. Creamy Cheese and Smoked Salmon are absolutely great fillings.

Steps

1

Place thin layer of Sushi Rice in the centre of a Nori sheet, shape it into a square so that it would be easy to wrap.
2

Place some Salad Vegetables, then creamy Cottage Cheese or Cream Cheese, and add some Dill and Onion. Top with Smoked Salmon.
3

Cover with another layer of Rice and press down the layers keeping the square shape. Use a piece of plastic warp to prevent the rice sticks to your hands.
4

Fold in a corner and its opposite side corner, then another corner and its opposite side corner to make a square shape. Turn it over, then the moisture will help the corners stick together.
5

Enjoy the ‘Onigirazu’ as it is or cut in half.
