Onigiri
Onigiri have been eaten in Japan for over a thousand years, originally carried as portable meals for travellers and soldiers.
Hand-shaped Japanese rice balls, often filled with pickled plum or salted salmon and wrapped in a strip of crisp nori — a portable staple of Japanese lunchboxes.
Ingredients
Method
Wet hands with lightly salted water to prevent sticking.
Take a portion of warm rice, press a small well in the centre, and add filling.
Shape into a triangle or ball, pressing gently but firmly to compact the rice.
Wrap a strip of nori around the base before serving.
Keep hands wet with salted water throughout shaping — dry hands make the rice stick uncomfortably.
