Easy Square Onigiri Rice Balls
- 1 use about 1 heaping teaspoon of filling per onigiri, as needed
- 1 Umeboshi plums, flaked salted salmon, konbu tsukudani etc., to taste
- 360 ml worth raw white rice, cooked
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 full sheets (or as needed) Nori seaweed
- 1 Milk carton
- 1 Scissors
- 20 to 25 cm square pieces, 1 piece per onigiri Plastic wrap
- Cut the milk carton about 3 cm from the bottom.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Mound in the rice.
- (Optionally add salt to the rice beforehand.
- If you are adding a lot of filling you don't need the salt.)
- Make a dent in the middle.
- Add the filling.
- Cover with plastic wrap.
- Pack down gently.
- If you want firm onigiri, press down firmly.
- Done!
- Optionally wrap with nori seaweed (The filling here is umeboshi).
- If you want to wrap the whole onigiri with nori seaweed, use 1/4 a sheet and place on top of the onigiri.
- Wrap.
- (The filling here is flaked salted salmon.)
- Since you can see the filling, I think just wrapping the onigiri on one side with nori is fine...
- (The filling here is konbu tsukudani.)
