A simple way to make this Japanese favorite at home.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sushi rice - (short grain rice)
sesame oil
sesame seeds
1 dash garlic and onion powder *optional
1 dash salt
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
Directions:
1. Steam rice as usual either on a stove top or in a steamer, I used a steamer.
2. Fluff rice, and add vinegar, salt, and the seasonings of your choice. You can also add curry powder or Miso paste.
3. I used a mold for my onigiri, shown here: /onigiri_with_filling.htm
4. However it can also be molded by hand, but it must be down while hot or it wont stick together as well. Any shape will do, I used triangles.
5. Heat sesame oil in a pan and lightly fry Onigiri until golden on each side.
