One of the easiest Japanese dishes for children, onigiri is made by shaping cooked rice into triangles by hand and filling it with tuna. Wrapped with a strip of nori, it is easy to hold and makes a convenient snack for a crowd.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Cook the rice

20 min

Rinse the rice and add it to a pot with the water and salt. Once it comes to a boil, cover and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.

2

Let the rice cool

10 min

Let the cooked rice cool for 10 minutes, until it is comfortable to handle.

3

Make the filling

5 min

Mix the drained tuna with the mayonnaise.

4

Shape the onigiri

10 min

With wet hands, flatten a handful of rice and place some tuna filling in the center. Close it into a triangle, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and wrap it with a strip of nori.

Reminder

Let the rice cool until it is comfortable to handle before shaping it; hot rice can burn your hands and will not hold its shape. Allergens: contains egg (in the mayonnaise), fish (tuna), and sesame.

Çocuklarla üçgen şekil verirken çok eğlendik, 4 kişilik pirinç tam yetti, ton balığı yerine somon konservesiyle de deneyeceğiz.
