Instructions
- Preparation: Divide a nori sheet into three equal pieces. Mix the cooked rice and the furikake seasoning evenly in a large bowl.
- Shape the Onigiri: Wet your hands with water, sprinkle salt on your palms, and rub together. Place one serving of rice in your hand and gently press with both palms to form a triangle, rolling it a few times for shape.
- Wrap with Nori: Wrap a strip of nori around the onigiri.
Notes
- Storage: Wrap each onigiri tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for a couple of days.
- Japanese short-grain rice, known for its starchy and sticky texture, is ideal for making onigiri. If you are new to cooking Japanese rice, you can learn how in this recipe: 'How to cook Japanese stove on the stove.'
- To prevent rice from sticking, wet your hands or use plastic wrap.
- Using an onigiri mold makes shaping triangles quick and easy.
