Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make Sushi Vinegar by mixing Rice Vinegar, Sugar and Salt. Pour it over the HOT cooked Rice, then mix well gently and thoroughly, fanning the Rice with a fan or piece of cardboard to help the rice cool quickly. Cover with a damp cloth to stop the rice drying out, and allow it to cool.
- 2
Prepare other ingredients. Cut into small pieces if large. Combine them with the cooled Sushi Rice.
- 3
Wash your hands thoroughly before making ‘Onigiri’, however sometimes it is safe and easy to make ‘Onigiri’ using plastic food wrap.
- 4
Place 1/8 of Rice mixture in the centre of the wrap and shape it into a triangular (OR round) ball. If you don’t use plastic wrap, wet your hands so that Rice won’t stick to your palms. Repeat the process.

Today I made three different types. ‘Smoked Salmon & Avocado’, ‘Teriyaki Chicken, Spinach, Carrot & Egg’, and ‘Prawn, Edamame & Egg.

Cut each sheet of Nori into quarters. Wrap each Rice Ball with a piece of Nori. Today I cut it into long strips. This is how I wrapped.

For Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival): Perfectly Round Temari Sushi #1 For Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival): Perfectly Round Temari Sushi #1
I have a cake pop mold that makes ball-shaped cakes, so I wanted to use it to make some temari sushi (ball-shaped sushi) that are all the same size. The prince and princess shaped sushi balls are special because of their garments, but for the others, I simply spread out the sushi filling in the bottom of the mold, packed in the ingredients, and made them into ball shapes.Make sure to wet the lid of the mold.You can also spread out plastic wrap in the mold beforehand, put the sushi in, cover with more plastic wrap, and then cover it with the lid. This eliminates the need to moisten the mold and makes the rice easy to remove.When packing the sushi rice into the mold, press it lightly into balls with your hands beforehand. This way the temari sushi will have a nice round shape. Recipe by NordicWare -

Granny's Round Onigiri Rice Balls Granny's Round Onigiri Rice Balls
When I was a child, my grandmother used to make this onigiri with her big hands. She used to spread out shredded nori on top of newspaper and roll the onigiri around... This is my favorite onigiri with lots of memories. Because you use shredded nori, the nori won't break apart, thus making it easier to eat. It's safe for your children that way.Use your favorite fillings. Adjust the size to your liking. It's easier to coat with nori if it's very round, but you can also adjust that too. If you work on plastic wrap, it will get all sticky, so use parchment paper. For 2 servings. Recipe by Mikki-an -
