Grilled 'Onigiri'

When I was a young child, my mother used to char-grill left-over 'Onigiri' (Rice Balls) that had turned cold and hard. Then 'Onigiri' were warmed up and the outside became crunchy. I loved the crunchy texture and slightly burnt flavour.
I prefer soy sauce flavoured 'Onigiri' to salt-only ones when grilled. Try this recipe when you have left-over cooked short grain rice. You would love them. Char-grilling is absolutely wonderful, but it is not a practical method for many of us. Griller, Toaster Oven or a frying pan is good enough!

Steps
- 1
In a small bowl, mix Soy Sauce, Mirin and Dashi Powder.
- 2
If cooked rice is cold, warm up using microwave. It is difficult to make it into balls when cold.
- 3
Add the sauce mixture and Sesame Seeds to warm rice and mix to combine well.
- 4
Wash your hands thoroughly before making 'Onigiri', however sometimes it is safe and easy to use plastic food wrap.
- 5
Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and brush lightly with Sesame Oil. Place 'Onigiri' on the foil and grill until golden and crunchy.
