Pickled Ginger Onigri with Wasabi-Teriyaki Glaze
Ingredients:
* Pickled Ginger (I used Metsuyan brand)
* Teriyaki baste/glaze (I used Mikll brand)
* Wasabi Sauce (I used Silver Spring)
* Botan Rice
* Nori sheets
* kosher salt
Note: No amounts given because it really depends on the quantity of rice you wish to make.
I followed the cooking instructions for 1 1/ cups of sticky rice but you can do any amount you want.
Preparation: (See pictures below for help if you get confused)
1. Follow the instructions for making your desired amount of rice. It's about 3/4 cup cooked rice per ball
2. Cut Nori sheets into 2" strips
3. Mix equal amount teriyaki glaze and wasabi sauce in bowl (I had about a tablespoon each)
4. Once rice is ready take out a small dish and some plastic wrap. Put the plastic wrap inside the dish, rub some water on it and then sprinkle salt. Put a scoop of rice in the dish and close the plastic wrap around it. Slowly tighten the top of the plastic wrap till you have a tightly made ball of rice.
5. Unwrap the newly made ball and poke a hole, put whatever amount of ginger you desire in along with whatever amount of sauce you desire, close the hole and wrap one piece of the cut nori around it.
6. Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you have the amount of riceballs you want.
Any left over rice should be stored in the refrigerator as should any unused sauce, glaze or ginger.
