ONIGIRI - JAPANESE RICE BALLS
Onigiri are Japanese rice balls. They're fun to make and are a staple of Japanese lunchboxes (bento). You can put almost anything in an onigiri; try substituting grilled salmon, pickled plums, beef, pork, turkey, or tuna with mayonnaise.

Steps:
- Wash the rice in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Combine washed rice and 4 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer rice until the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rice rest, for 15 minutes to allow the rice to continue to steam and become tender. Allow cooked rice to cool.
- Combine 1 cup water with the salt in a small bowl. Use this water to dampen hands before handling the rice. Divide the cooked rice into 8 equal portions. Use one portion of rice for each onigiri.
- Divide one portion of rice in two. Create a dimple in the rice and fill with a heaping teaspoon of bonito flakes. Cover with the remaining portion of rice and press lightly to enclose filling inside rice ball. Gently press the rice to shape into a triangle. Wrap shaped onigiri with a strip of nori. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat to make a total of 8 onigiri.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the salmon fillet with salt and let stand for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, wash the rice thoroughly in cold water 30 to 60 minutes before cooking and let drain in colander. Place rice and water in a heavy, tightly covered saucepan over medium-high heat. When water just begins to boil, turn the heat to high and let it come to a vigorous boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook until all the liquid is absorbed by the rice, about 12 to 13 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes. Using a flat wooden spoon or rice paddle, fluff the rice with a cutting motion. Stretch a towel under the lid and cover tightly to keep warm until ready to use.
- Toast the nori sheets over a high gas flame, and cut crosswise into 1-inch wide strips, or use pre-toasted nori.
- Mix the bonito flakes with the soy sauce. Rinse the salt off the salmon, pat dry, and grill for 3 to 5 minutes. Use a fork to break the salmon into small pieces.
- Wet your hands with salted water to keep the rice from sticking to your hands. Cup one hand and place a handful of rice, about 1/2 cup, in your hand. Make an indentation in the rice and tuck in one of the fillings: a teaspoon of soaked bonito flakes, a few flakes of salmon, or a few pieces of pickled plum. Close the rice over the filling and mold it into a triangular shape. Mold the rice firmly, pressing just hard enough to hold it together. Set the rice triangle down on one of its sides and cover the top peak with a strip of nori, shiny side out, like a roof. You can also make cylindrical shapes and wrap the nori around the middle. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the rice shapes. These are great lunch treats.

HOW TO MAKE ONIGIRI (JAPANESE RICE BALLS) - EPICURIOUS
From epicurious.com
Author Katherine SacksPublished 2017-09-25Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
- Make the Rice. Unlike sushi, which is made with rice seasoned with rice vinegar and sugar, the rice for onigiri is simply cooked sushi rice. Although a rice cooker is typically used, you don't need one.
- Prepare the Filling. Although onigiri is occasionally eaten plain, it is usually stuffed with a filling. Ideally you want to choose something very flavorful, since onigiri is a handheld snack, often eaten on the go, and generally not served with a dipping sauce.
- Gather the Remaining Ingredients and Tools. Along with the rice and filling, you will also need a bowl of shallow salted water. To make, dissolve 1 tsp.
- Form the Rice Balls. Dip your hands into the salted water, then grab 1/4 cup of the rice. Using your hands, shape the rice into a small, fat triangle. Onigiri can also be shaped into balls, tubes, or ovals (all the better for making baby pandas!).
- Stuff the Rice Balls. Once you've shaped the rice, use your thumb to create an indentation in the center. Place a teaspoonful of the filling in the center, then wet your hands again lightly, and pat the rice over the filling to cover it.
- Wrap the Rice Balls. When the filling has been covered, it's time to wrap the onigiri. The classic method is to use nori wrappers. Using dry hands, lay the rice ball on top of the nori, leaving the tip hanging over the edge.
- Eat Onigiri or Store. If you're eating the onigiri right away, dig in! If you're packing them for later, hold up on wrapping them in nori. To keep onigiri from getting soggy, wrap the rice balls individually in wax paper or plastic wrap; store the nori separately and wrap it around the onigiri just before eating.
- The Crispy Addition. If you want a warm version of onigiri, try out yaki onigiri. These are plain rice balls that are bushed with soy and/or miso paste and broiled or grilled until crispy.
