My version of Onigiri Japanese Rice balls 🍙 that I cooked live with Reiko @Reikohashimoto . I ran out of seaweed sheets so I use some seasoning sesame flakes instead but if you can get some seaweed sheet you can use them to wrap your rice balls too. It’s so delicious and fun cooking activity to do with your little ones. Please check Reiko’s full recipe on here: https://cookpad.wasmer.app/uk/recipes/14354043-onigiri-japanese-rice-ball

Thank you so much Reiko for cooking and showing me how to make this yummy Onigiri 🍙🥰

3

Put different toppings into each plate or tray
4

Once cooked your rice, divided into 3 part. Part one mix with mashed green peas leave it in a mixing bowl ready to make rice balls.

For the 2/3 part of the white rice. Have a bowl of water nearby, dip both hands in water, sprinkle some fine salt (1/2 tsp) in on hand and rub both hand together.
6

Pick up about 2 tbsp of rice on one less dominant hand and use your dominant hand to help form the rice to triangle shape. Make a hole in the middle and put about 1 tsp of your preferred stuffing in.
7

Then form your rice ball again into triangle shape and dip the top part of your rice onto your seasoning sesame flakes topping.

Do the same as the 1/3 of the white rice and this time dip the side part with toasted sesame seeds.
9

Do the same with green pea rice balls. Serve with some pickled ginger or pickled vegetable.
