Samurai Warrior Shiso and Meat Wrapped Onigiri
- 700 grams White rice
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 20 slice Thinly sliced pork belly
- 10 leaves Shiso leaves
- 3 tbsp A. Yakiniku sauce
- 1 tsp A. Juice from grated ginger
- 1 tsp B. Vegetable oil
- 1 tsp B. Sesame oil
- 1 optional, (to taste) Toasted sesame seeds
- Soak the rice in the usual amount of water for about 30 minutes.
- Add a pinch of salt and cook the rice.
- Wash the shiso leaves and pat dry.
- Combine the A. ingredients together.
- When the rice is cooked, mix in the toasted sesame seeds, and make 10 cylindrical rice balls.
- (Each one weighs about 60 g.)
- Wrap each rice ball with shiso leaves, then wrap the meat around to fix the shiso leaves in place.
- Finally wrap the meat around the sides of the rice ball too.
- For the 2nd slice of meat, change directions and wrap around the rice balls.
- The key is to wrap up the rice ball completely so no rice is peeking out.
- They look like this when all wrapped up.
- Line up the wrapped rice balls in a heated frying pan with the seam sides down.
- Pan fry over medium heat.
- When the bottom side is browned, turn the balls to brown on all sides.
- When they are all browned, wipe out any excess fat in the pan.
- Pour in the A ingredients.
- Shake the pan around over medium-high heat to coat the rice balls with the sauce and evaporate the moisture to finish.
- Please see the Nobunaga Oda inspired sister recipe, "Chicken Nanban Marinated in Red Wine".
- is the recipe for the tamagoyaki (omelette) pictured with the meat wrapped onigiri.
