Toasted Onigiri with Leftover Rice
My mother taught me this recipe.
Make it with hot cooked rice If you use cold rice, it will be very difficult to form.
You can season the leftover rice in the rice cooker, form into rice balls, and chill in the fridge to toast the next morning!
If you freeze them after toasting, just microwave before serving. Recipe by Hamumaki

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add soy sauce or mentsuyu and umami seasoning into hot cooked rice and mix well. If possible, mix in a rice cooker to keep warm!
- 2
Spread aluminum foil on an oven pan. If you'd like to butter the onigiri, spread butter at this point.
- 3
Preheat the pan in the toaster oven until hot (heating the pan avoids the onigiri from sticking to it).
- 4
While the pan is preheating, divide the rice into six portions and form into onigiri.
- 5
Align the onigiri on the hot pan and toast for about 15 minutes. Keep your eyes on them and adjust the cooking time as cooking time varies by machine.
- 6
When it's done, set aside to cool on the pan. When it's slightly cooled, it becomes easier to remove from the aluminum foil (it will stick and fall apart when still warm).
- 7
I usually use Ninben's "Tsuyu no moto" when I use dipping sauce, but I usually make this with soy sauce Try either one!

Thank you, Mayuge, for your delicious feedback! Here’s how to make grilled rice balls in a skillet.When grilling in a skillet, it cooks faster if you don’t flip the rice balls until the surface is browned.I also learned that using more rice and a bit more oil helps keep the rice balls from falling apart. Thank you, HxxYmama.

I recommend doing it as in Steps 6, 7, and 8. Recipe by MAYOMAYO. -
Spiral Onigiri Rice Balls Spiral Onigiri Rice Balls
On a day when I was planning to make onigiri, I cut my hand with a vegetable slicer.Since I couldn't touch the rice with my hands, I decided to roll the ingredients and it was surprisingly good.-A tip is to roll tightly. If it's loose, the rice and ingredients will spill out when slicing.-Salt the rice well. Taste before rolling.-Another tip is to wet the knife after each slice to guarantee a clean cut.
