Steps:
- Use 1 cup of hot (or warm) cooked Japanese short grain rice per serving. Add the rice to a small bowl (like a cereal bowl) just big enough to hold it. Jiggle the bowl, moving it in a flat, circular motion, like the motion of a hula hoop, until the rice forms into a ball on its own-a neat kitchen trick Tadashi's mom taught him. This motion packs the rice so it holds together when it grills.
- Wet your hands and place the ball of rice between your cupped palms. Now squeeze, flip, and turn the rice ball several times to form it into a triangular shape. This motion takes a little practice, but after a few yaki onigiri, you'll get the hang of it. Make sure not to compact the rice too tight; you want it to just stick together.
- Grill yaki onigiri over medium heat. If the fire's too hot, the rice will burn. We like to place the yaki onigiri along the cooler edges of a grill while other foods cook in the hotter center. Watch the rice carefully while it grills; perfect yaki onigiri need constant attention.
- How to Cook Japanese Rice
- There are two basic ways to prepare Japanese rice: rice cooker or stovetop. If you have an electronic rice cooker, wash and rest the rice as we describe below, then follow cooker instructions. To prepare rice on the stovetop, an enameled cast-iron or cast-iron pot works best because these heavy pots do such a great job distributing heat.
- Makes 4 cups of rice 2 cups Japanese short-grain white rice 2 cups water
- Wash the rice to remove surface starch by placing the rice in a bowl, filling it with water, and swirling the rice with your hand. Drain off the milky liquid. Repeat 3 or 4 times until the water becomes clear enough to see the rice. Wash quickly; the entire process should take no longer than 3 minutes (soaking the rice in the washing water too long can cloud its flavor). Strain the rice into a colander, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 15 minutes, so the grains naturally rehydrate, which helps them cook evenly.
- Add the rice and 2 cups of water to a pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium and cook 10 minutes, until you smell a beautiful rice aroma in the steam escaping from the pot. Be careful not to overcook, or you'll burn the rice. Turn off the heat and let the covered pot sit for 10 minutes, a critical step that completes the cooking process. Uncover the pot, gently stir the rice with a large spoon to fluff it up, and it's ready.
USER FRIENDLY ONIGIRI
My DH and roommate both love sushi, and hate the fact that I don't like nori so I won't learn to make Japanese food for them at home. After looking around here and doing some playing around in the kitchen yesterday, this is what I came up with: onigiri using an Asian flavored version of my User Friendly Meatballs (recipe #216180). My picky picky DD told me to keep this recipe, so I am posting it. :) I had ground beef on hand, but you could use any ground meat (pork sounds really yummy).

Steps:
- Combine beef, crackers, and 1 T. of the dressing in a bowl. Heat remaining dressing in a nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
- Roll the meat mixture into little meatballs, 1/2" to 3/4" in diameter.
- Cook meatballs in skillet for 8 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Drain any extra fat off. Add beef stock, and simmer uncovered on low for 5 minutes.
- When meatballs are done, put them in a bowl and pour the sauce over them. Refrigerate while you cook and season the rice.
- When you are ready to roll, have meatballs, rice, a bowl of salty water to dip your hands in to keep the rice from sticking, and a plate for the finished rice balls in front of you.
- Take about 1/4 cup of rice in your hand and shape it into a flat rectangular shape.
- Place a meatball on top of the rice, and then wrap the rice around it.
- Pat the rice into place, and then gently squeeze the ball together, not compressing the rice, just getting extra air and moisture out so the rice sticks to the meatball.
- Repeat about 19 times. This took me a while, but I imagine you can get faster with practice. (I include the time for cooking the sushi rice in the cook time).

VEGGIE ONIGIRI
Onigiri is a Japanese lunch staple. Most non-Japanese know it as rice balls. It is easy to prepare and easy to pack. I personally don't really like umeboshi or meats in my onigiri, so I make it this way.

Steps:
- Cook the rice either in a rice cooker or in a pot on the stove. Ratio of rice to water is 1:1.
- While you are waiting for the rice to cook, shred up the nori if it is still in large sheets, or small strips. You want to be able to distribute the small pieces through the rice.
- When the rice is done, stir it up. Then take half of it and put it in a bowl large enough for it to be mixed around inches.
- Add 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds and 2 teaspoons of nori and mix to evenly distribute.
- If you have a mold, put the rice into the mold, press and plop out onto a plate or saran wrap to wrap it inches If you don't, wet your hands with salt water to keep the rice from sticking to your hands and shape the rice into whatever shape you want. The most common shape is a sort of rounded triangle.
- Repeat these steps with the remaining rice.
- Basically, you can add whatever you want to these. Teriyaki chicken in the middle is good, and some people use fish or chicken. If you want, you can also put a strip of nori on your onigiri so it will be easier to hold.

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.
