Yaki Onigiri — Grilled Rice

Ingredients

• —400 g cooked Koukyu Japonica Sushi Rice
• —2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp mirin
• —1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• —Nori strips, to wrap
• —Flaky salt

Method

1. 01

   With wet, salted hands, press the warm rice into firm triangles.

2. 02

   Sear on a lightly oiled pan until a golden crust forms on both faces.

3. 03

   Brush with the soy-mirin glaze and sear thirty seconds more per side.

4. 04

   Wrap with nori and serve hot, crust crackling.

Only short-grain Japonica holds the triangle. Long-grain rice will not survive the pan.
