Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the milk carton about 3 cm from the bottom.
- 2
Cover with plastic wrap.
- 3
Mound in the rice. (Optionally add salt to the rice beforehand. If you are adding a lot of filling you don't need the salt.)
- 4
Make a dent in the middle.
- 5
Add the filling.
- 6
Cover with plastic wrap.
- 7
Pack down gently. If you want firm onigiri, press down firmly.
- 8
Done!
- 9
Optionally wrap with nori seaweed (The filling here is umeboshi).
- 10
If you want to wrap the whole onigiri with nori seaweed, use 1/4 a sheet and place on top of the onigiri.
- 11
Wrap.
- 12
(The filling here is flaked salted salmon.) Since you can see the filling, I think just wrapping the onigiri on one side with nori is fine...
- 13
(The filling here is konbu tsukudani.)
- 14

Tiny & Easy Onigiri Rice Squares Tiny & Easy Onigiri Rice Squares
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.

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.

Granny's Round Onigiri Rice Balls 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 -

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 -
