2TablespoonmisoI use this miso (you can probably buy it in Asian grocery stores for under $10). If you use dashi miso, you don't need to add dashi powder in this ingredient list.
Add uncooked rice to your rice cooker. Wash the rice 1-2 times with running water.
Use a mesh strainer to remove the water and move the washed rice to your rice cooker.
Add water and let's cook the rice!
Let's cook!
After rice is cooked move it to a bowl and cool it down until you can touch.
Then, make the rice into a triangle shape or circle, and then flatten the top and bottom.
In a small bowl, add miso, mirin, and dashi powder then mix.
Use a medium size pan and turn the heat to medium. I recommend you use non stick pan if you have it but if you don't have it, prepare parchment paper that fits the pan and place it in the pan.
Add a thin layer of oil. (I used sesame oil)
Put rice balls on the pan, and cook one side until It is slightly brown and crispy. About 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook the other side.
After the both sides are cooked (brown and crispy), let's brush or spoon the rice balls with the miso mixture. Start with one side.
Flip the miso side on the bottom and cook for 2 minutes with medium heat. Miso is easy to burn so please make sure not to burn too much.
While cooking, brush or spoon the other side with the miso mixture.
After one side is cooked, flip and cook the other side too.
Let's eat!
This is a great snack!
Notes
*1 Miso can burn very quickly, so please be careful and make sure the rice doesn't burn after adding the sauce (miso and mirin).
