Egoma Leaf Onigiri (Rice Balls) Korean Dish

My mother-in-law made this recipe a long time ago; it hasn't got any particular name for it, so we call it "Egoma Leaf Rice".
Since the egoma leaves are not seasoned much, the meat mixture should be prepared slightly salty and sweet.
If you have any leftover flavored rice, it's also delicious wrapped in Korean nori seaweed. Recipe by dubudubu

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Sauté the meat and roughly chopped carrot, and add the soy sauce, mirin, and sugar.
- 2
Cook until the liquid is almost completely evaporated out of the pan. Since you will mix this meat mixture with rice, it should be a little salty.
- 3
These are egoma leaves. They are a little bigger and thicker than shiso leaves.
- 4
Add a little salt to boiled water, and parboil the egoma leaves for 1-2 minutes. They will become too soft if you boil them for too long, so parboil them briefly.
- 5
To prevent them from discoloring, blanch in cold water after parboiling.
- 6
Drain the leaves, and wring them tightly in your hands. They are quite tough, so don't worry -- just wring them as tightly as you can.
- 7
Add the meat mixture from Step 2 and sesame oil to the cooked rice.
- 8
Spread out the egoma leaf, taking care not to tear it, and wrap a rice ball inside. Trim off the stems.
- 9
This is how they turn out. They make bite-sized pieces.

This makes the onigiri deliciously fragrant, like yaki-onigiri (grilled rice balls). Recipe by Mizorecchifan cookpad.japan -

Meat Wrapped Onigiri Rice Balls using Shabu-Shabu Pork Slices 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 cookpad.japan -
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 cookpad.japan -
