Toasted Onigiri with Leftover Rice
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
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

- 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!

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.

Meat Wrapped Onigiri Rice Balls using Shabu-Shabu Pork Slices
I wanted to make hearty and filling onigiri that would be satisfying even when there aren't a lot of side dishes in the bento box.If you roll the meat wrapped rice balls around while the meat is uncooked it will fall off, so cook it one section at a time. When all sides are browned, it's ok to roll them around. If you clean the frying pan with paper towels once the meat is cooked before adding the flavoring ingredients, the rice balls won't burn so easily. Recipe by ss mama
Easier Than Onigiri! Rice Sandwiches With Different Fillings
My husband brings onigiri to work, and I wondered if I could pack them with more substantial fillings. So I made this on a whim and he said he had a chuckle when he ate them. I tried them myself and they were pretty good. My kids like them too.If you leave a gap in the middle of the nori, the sandwiches are easy to fold over.Hold the fillings in place with chopsticks to prevent them from moving when you fold the sandwich over.Small children may find these easier to eat if you cut each sandwich into thirds. The middle section is hard for them to eat, so the adults should eat them up.If you use sushi rice, they should taste like sushi rolls I think. For 2 per serving. Recipe by Yui mama

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
