Our Most Popular Onigiri Filling

My family loves the combination of shiso and cheese.Please adjust the amount of ingredients to your liking. I approximated the amount of rice by 4 breakfast servings (2 rice balls each). If you're halving the recipe, toss the whole package of bonito flakes, because it tastes delicious when there's lots. You can add edamame to make it colorful. Recipe by miyuki12

I wanted to contribute my children's favorite grilled onigiri to the Tasty Onigiri series.Firmly shape the onigiri otherwise they will break apart when flipped over.Be sparing with the vegetable oil, or else it will taste oily.If the onigiri falls apart when flipping them over, just break them up and serve them with gochujang.That way, you can make them pass as Korean-style bibimbap. Recipe by Izumiuna

Using a vegetable peeler, I made a rose from kamaboko and placed it on an onigiri.Use daikon radish sprouts or mitsuba instead of the snow peas. Or you can just omit them. If you bury part of the kamaboko rose and the snow pea leaves into the onigiri, they won't fall apart easily in a bento box. Flavor the rice and/or add a filling of your choice to the onigiri. Recipe by Mikki-an

I really like the popular sweets clay crafting, so I wanted to try it with onigiri.-You can get a bunch of cute stickers from the 100 yen shop.

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.

Store bought toasted onigiri tastes good. I was inspired by it and created my own version by mixing rice with seasoning.My version seasons the onigiri before toasting, requires no pan frying and results in a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.My family loves this.Just use leftover rice!You can make this in batches whenever you have leftover rice, and freeze them for later.Microwave when you're hungry, or for breakfast or evening snack.The microwave time is 2 minutes at 500 W, or 1 minute 20 seconds at 600 W.Make sure cool the onigiri before freezing. There's no need for plastic wrap when defrosting in a microwave. Recipe by smapkayo.

I just came up with this idea on whim.Step 5: You can also fill each of the four sections of the box with plastic wrap, put in the rice, and wrap them up in there, but the squares are quite small, making it difficult to get the wrap in nicely. I recommend doing it as in Steps 6, 7, and 8. Recipe by MAYOMAYO.

Onigiri don't have to be triangular! You can make them round or cylindrical!And you can make them square too!Change the depth of the cut off milk carton to make thin onigiri or thick onigiri.Since you don't form the rice with your hands, you can form the onigiri when you are in a hurry even if the rice is hot. Recipe by MAYOMAYO.

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

I wanted to make square onigiri easier to eat, so I halved them.These are fairly small onigiri, so you can eat a lot! You can enjoy different fillings with these, too. Recipe by MAYOMAYO

おにぎり “onigiri”, also called おむすび “omusubi”, are rice balls made from rice into triangular, circular, and other similar shapes.They have become a popular food item available at Japanese convenience stores, and in other parts of the world.

I used to cover the bottom of the onigiri with black sesame seeds, but that wasn't working too well, so I changed to using nori seaweed.It looks like a chestnut now, so I uploaded the recipe.When shaping the onigiri, make the top pointy and the bottom round and fat to make it look like a chestnut.Cut the nori seaweed in whichever way you like in Step 4. Small children may find a big piece of nori hard to eat, so I recommend a smaller onigiri made with the nori on the right. For 1 rice bowl worth (about 150g). Recipe by Kohanemi

We had some leftover rice and I wanted to make some snack for my kids.

Making onigiri rice balls every single morning takes so much time, so I always just sprinkle furikake seasoning. Then I thought I'd stock some in the freezer, since I store frozen rice anyway.If you match the size of the sandwiches to the size of your bento box, after you cut them you can store them just like that. Recipe by Yuhi

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

I came up with this easy rice dish that is perfect for breakfast. When eating onigiri, my husband always asks me to make these. My kids love cheese. This gave me the idea to combine these ingredients together.Freshly cooked rice is good to use, but you can also reheat leftover rice in the microwave. If the flavor is weak, add salt to taste. If you add too much soy sauce, the rice balls will become too wet to pack tightly. It might be easier if you use sliced cheese. For 4-5 rice balls. Recipe by chikappe
