I attempted to make this recipe for yaki onigiri, and the rice fell apart in the pan. I didn’t add any fillings to the rice. The rice also didn’t brown like I hoped and instead just kinda crystallized and got crunchy. The flavor was okay, but I was confused because I followed the recipe and video as posted. (I’m usually a very good cook but have little practice with Japanese dishes).
2 cups Mahatma® Jasmine Rice
1/4 cup surimi, chopped
1/4 cup avocado, diced
3 tbsp grated carrot
2 green onions, sliced
4 tbsp rice vinegar, divided
2 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
6 tbsp soy sauce, divided
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp sesame seeds
1 tsp sesame oil
Step 1
In small bowl, combine surimi, avocado, carrot and green onions. Set aside.
Step 2
Cook rice according to package directions. Stir 2 tbsp rice vinegar, sugar and salt into cooked rice. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Using wet hands, flatten 1/3 cup cooked rice slightly; place 1 tbsp filling in center. Shape rice into ball, enclosing filling. Repeat with remaining filling and rice.
Step 3
Heat 2 tsp oil in skillet set over medium heat. Fry balls in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Brush rice balls with 2 tbsp soy sauce; cook for 15 to 20 seconds per side.
Step 4
In small bowl, combine remaining soy sauce and rice vinegar, honey, sesame seeds and sesame oil. Serve yaki onigiri with sauce for dipping.
