Onigiri (お握り) 日式饭团

Traditional way to make onigiri is using hand, but an onigiri mold is indispensable for busy mornings (so much faster and the results are more uniform). I got my onigiri mold from Daiso, a larger mold that I use for stuffed onigiri and the smaller one I use for plain or mixed-rice onigiri. You can stuff any filling into an onigiri, to create your own special onigiri. Let’s do it!

日本传统方式是使用双手来为饭团塑造型，现今的忙碌生活习惯，要在家做日式饭团...饭团模具是必不可缺少的（其效果比较均匀及快）。我的饭团模具是在Daiso买的，有内馅的饭团我都使用比较大的饭团模具，如果要做多味小饭团就用较小的饭团模具。你可以在饭团里加入任何你喜欢的食材，创造属于你自己的特别饭团。开始试试吧！

Onigiri

Ingredients:

Nori Seaweed

Sushi Rice:

Japanese Vinegar 2 tbsp

Caster sugar 1 tbsp

Japanese steamed rice 1 bowl

Filling:

Japanese plum paste Shiso Ume

Pork floss

Tuna mayonnaise

Method:

1. In a small bowl, mix the vinegar and caster sugar. Pour the vinegar mixture to the rice and mix well, set aside.
2. Add the rice into the mold to just below the half-way mark. Place a small amount of the filling into the center of the rice – do not overstuff!
3. Add additional rice to fill the mold and press down the lid of mold onto the rice. Remove the lid, invert the mold, and press down to slide out the onigiri.
4. Place a square sheet of nori (seaweed) to the bottom of the onigiri. Stick the excess Nori for the front and the back of onigiri. Voila! Enjoy!
