材料(3-4 pieces per person分)
- 1 cup (uncooked) Japanese short-grain rice (hakumai)
- 2 sheets Nori seaweed (cut into strips)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (shoyu, low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tsp Maple syrup (or rice syrup)
- 1 tbsp Toasted white sesame seeds (goma)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil (for brushing)
- 1/4 tsp Salt (fine sea salt)
- 1 tbsp Spring onion (finely chopped, optional for garnish) - オプション
- 1/2 tsp Shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice, optional) - オプション
作り方
- 1
Rinse the Japanese short-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice using a rice cooker or on the stovetop according to package instructions. Allow the rice to cool slightly for easier handling.
15 minutes
Use freshly cooked rice for best texture; slightly warm rice is easier to shape.
- 2
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce and maple syrup to create a glaze. Set aside.
2 minutes
Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness and helps the soy sauce caramelize.
- 3
Wet your hands with a little salted water to prevent sticking. Take a small handful of rice and shape it into a triangle or oval onigiri (rice ball). Repeat to make 6-8 pieces.
5 minutes
Don’t press the rice too tightly—keep it light for a fluffy texture.
- 4
Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds evenly over each rice ball, gently pressing them into the surface.
2 minutes
Sesame seeds add nutty aroma and a crunchy texture.
