Ingredients
Main Ingredients (4 pieces)
- Rice 750g
- Cooked Rice 400g
- Bonito Powder 4g
Seasonings
- Sake 2.5 tbsp
- [A] MSG(Ajinomoto) 3 dashes
- [B] Soy Sauce 2 tbsp
- [B] Sugar 1 tsp
- [B] MSG(Ajinomoto) 4 dashes
Steps
- Place Rice 750g in a bowl, rinse with running water, and discard the water once.
- Pour water again, gently rinse, and discard the cloudy water. Rinsing is complete after 2 times.
- Add Sake 2.5 tbsp and MSG(Ajinomoto) 3 dashes to the rinsed rice.
- Pour water up to the white rice line, and let it soak for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Put the soaked rice into a rice cooker and cook on quick cook mode.
- Once cooked, open the lid, mix the entire batch, then close the lid again and let it steam for a short while.
- Place Bonito Powder 4g, Soy Sauce 2 tbsp, Sugar 1 tsp, and MSG(Ajinomoto) 4 dashes into a heat-resistant container.
- Heat in the microwave without plastic wrap for 40-50 seconds. 【Tip!】 Heating reduces the soy sauce, making it easier to mix with the rice.
- Add warm Cooked Rice 400g to the heated sauce and mix well.
- Lay out plastic wrap, measure 100g of rice at a time, and shape it into a round ball. Make 4 of these.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat, arrange the shaped onigiri and grill them. If the non-stick coating is peeling, line with parchment paper or add a small amount of oil. 【Tip!】 Creating traditional grill marks enhances the aroma and brings out the deliciousness.
- Once golden brown and crispy grill marks appear all over, arrange on a plate and serve.
