Toasted Onigiri with Leftover Rice
- 600 grams Hot cooked rice
- 60 grams Soy sauce or menstuyu (Japanese noodle dipping sauce)
- 10 shakes Umami seasoning
- Add soy sauce or mentsuyu and umami seasoning into hot cooked rice and mix well.
- If possible, mix in a rice cooker to keep warm!
- Spread aluminum foil on an oven pan.
- If you'd like to butter the onigiri, spread butter at this point.
- Preheat the pan in the toaster oven until hot (heating the pan avoids the onigiri from sticking to it).
- While the pan is preheating, divide the rice into six portions and form into onigiri.
- Align the onigiri on the hot pan and toast for about 15 minutes.
- Keep your eyes on them and adjust the cooking time as cooking time varies by machine.
- When it's done, set aside to cool on the pan.
- When it's slightly cooled, it becomes easier to remove from the aluminum foil (it will stick and fall apart when still warm).
- I usually use Ninben's "Tsuyu no moto" when I use dipping sauce, but I usually make this with soy sauce Try either one!
