Like Nori rolls but triangular. Ingredients:
1 lb short-grain rice |
8 umeboshi (dried plum) |
8 nori (dried seaweed) |
salt |
Directions:
1. Cook the rice.
2. Keep it warm, but let it cool enough so that it won't burn your hands.
3. Cut each nori sheet into 9 strips.
4. Wet your hands and sprinkle them with salt to prevent the rice from sticking to them.
5. Mold a handful of rice into a triangular shape with an indentation in the middle.
6. Press a piece of umeboshi into the indentation you left.
7. Wrap the rice and umeboshi in Nori strips.
8. Serve immediately or save for later.
