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.

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.
