Hello again to my loyal reader out there!
Seriously, couldn’t’ve done it without your support. I’m
sending virtual brohug to you all *brohug*
This week recipe is still from Japan. It’s fast, it’s so
quick, and it is delish.
It’s YAKI
ONIGIRI.
=====================
For 2 large Onigiri,
you will need;
 |
1 Cup of measured
Rice. Skip the stove, use rice cooker. Add 1,3 cups of water, and 15 minutes
later, VOILA! Cooked Rice! This will yield about 2 large handfuls of rice.
3 tbsp of
Japanese Soy Sauce.
As for fillings, there are no limitations. I usually stick
to the basics, like Katsuobushi or Salmon. Just use your imagination!
======================
Ready? Here We Go!
Step 1 – Get a
non-stick pan, heat it on medium-high.
Step 2 – Get your
cooked rice ready. It doesn’t have to be piping hot, because, Hello, y’all
wouldn’t wanna have a burnt hand do ya?. Warm to touch is more than enough. Wet
your hands and grab a big handfuls and shape 'em. Oh right, don’t forget your
fillings if you feel like it!
Contrary to popular beliefs, Onigiri is not Triangle all the
times. There are Onigiri in round shape, oval shape, even rectangular shape! I
myself like it classic, Triangle.
 |
| Please use clean water for your hands. No, seriously. |
 |
| Yeah, Rice love it wet. mehehehehhehe |
 |
| A big handfuls |
 |
| Shape 'em! |
 |
| Triangle! |
 |
| I ended up with 2 large and 1 small sized onigiri with the amount of Rice listed above. |
Step 3 – Lightly
oil the pan and put the Onigiri in. Let it sear, and utilize a careful eye, don’t
let it burn. Once a crust has developed, flip it over and baste lightly with
Soy Sauce. Give it a flip every 2 minutes. Do this as many times as you like to create a lovely golden crust! I spent a good 10 minutes on this batch.
 |
| Canola Oil was used this time around. Simply for higher heat resistance |
 |
| Wipe excess oil clean |
 |
| Start grilling! |
 |
| After the first flip |
 |
| Glaze! |
Step 4 – Serve!
This Yaki Onigiri is warm, crusty, salty, and sweet all at
the same time!
You can eat it as is, or with a side of Miso Soup and
Grilled Sanma. Talk about homey feeling.
Cheers
