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.

I made onigiri with buttered rice, which is my kid's favourite.*The mixture is a little bit oily, as it includes butter, so use plastic wrap when shaping if you'd prefer.*If you use salted butter, adjust the amount of salt accordingly. Recipe by Akane

I make onigiri every day for my husband to take to work for breakfast.I was just thinking of ways of varying the onigiri so that he doesn't get too bored.I tend to make pretty big onigiri, so if you prefer smaller ones, you can make 2 onigiri with 1 egg. For 1 rice ball. Recipe by Makirin

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

Since Kimchi goes so well with BBQ, I created this onigiri recipe.These were a hit with my friends. They ate them all up so fast, we wished we had more.★ If the rice clumps while you're stir-frying it, use a rice paddle to mix it gently with a cutting motion so the grains of rice don't break.★ These are even more delicious if you char the rice a little bit. This makes the onigiri deliciously fragrant, like yaki-onigiri (grilled rice balls). Recipe by Mizorecchifan
