Charaben - Easy Chestnut-Shaped Onigiri
- 1 rice bowl worth Plain cooked rice
- 2 tsp Mentsuyu (3x concentrate)
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 Nori seaweed
- 1 Ketchup
- These are the tools I used.
- From the left: a nori punch, scissors, tweezers and a toothpick.
- Mix the mentsuyu sauce and a little salt in the rice.
- Put half the rice on a piece of plastic film and make a chestnut shape.
- Cut the nori seaweed to fit the size of the onigiri.
- The left side piece cut to cover the whole bottom, and the right side piece is cut to cover the front part of the bottom only.
- Use whichever cut you like.
- Make the face parts by cutting them out of the nori seaweed, stick them on and the onigiri are done.
- If you cut a slit on both sides of the nori a little, it is easier to stick on.
- The blushing cheeks are made with ketchup.
