Preparation

  • 【rice】Add uncooked rice to your rice cooker. Wash the rice 1-2 times with running water.
  • 【rice】Use a mesh strainer to remove the water and move the washed rice to your rice cooker.
  • 【rice】Add water and let's cook the rice!
  • If you want to remove the mirin's alcohol, use a double serving of mirin, add it to a pot, and turn the heat to medium.
    When the mirin starts boiling, boil for 30 seconds at least and turn the heat off. Afterwards, you will have the correct amount of mirin for the recipe.

Let's cook after rice is cooked!

  • Gather all the ingredients.
  • Mix dashi powder, mirin, sesame oil, soy sauce, and white sesame seeds in a bowl.
  • Add the mixture to the warm rice. Mix everything evenly.
  • Divide into four equal sections.
  • Prepare a cling wrap and add the mixture onto it. Then make it triangle or circle whichever you want, but make sure it is flat on two sides.
  • In a large flat pan, add a piece of parchment paper and turn the heat to medium-low.
  • When the pan starts to get warm, add the rice balls (the maximum is 4).
  • Turn the heat to low and cook for 4 minutes on each side or until the surface gets brown.
  • After both sides of onigiri are cooked, turn the heat off!
  • Let's serve! Yaki Onigiri is good by itself.
