ONIGIRI (JAPANESE RICE BALL)
Onigiri (おにぎり, Japanese rice ball) is like a sandwich in Western culture. Why don't you take rice balls wrapped in yaki nori (roasted seaweed sheet) with grilled salted salmon for lunch? It's such a simple food but it is so comforting and tasty that you can't stop eating. Instead of salmon or other popular protein, you can add pickled vegetables or pickled salty plum to make it 100% vegetarian. The shape can be flat and round instead of triangle.

Steps:
- Place a cutting board in front of you and arrange salmon and the onigiri ingredients around it.
- Add ¼ of the cooked rice to a tea cup or a small rice bowl of 150-180ml (5-6 oz), then turn it over and place the rice on the cutting board.
- Wet your finger with water and make a well in the centre of the rice using your finger.
- Add ¼ of the salmon pieces to the well.
- Wet both palms of your hands with water, then take about ¼ of the salt and rub both palms together to spread the salt over them.
- Pick up the rice from both sides by making a cup with your hands so that the rice will sit in your palms.
- Using your thumbs, press down the salmon and then gather the rice around to cover the salmon and bury it in the centre (note 5) and make a rice ball.
- Place the rice ball on the palm of the left hand, then place your right hand over the rice ball perpendicular to your left hand.
- Then using mainly three fingers (index finger, middle finger and ring finger), squeeze the rice ball with both hands to shape it into a triangle. The left hand should control the thickness of the onigiri to make it about 4cm (1 ½") thick and the right hand should shape the triangle. Press firmly but not too tight (note 6).
- While pressing firmly, occasionally roll the triangle and press to make the onigiri more like an equilateral triangle.
- Place the onigiri in the centre of a yaki nori sheet and cover both sides of the triangular surface with yaki nori.
- Repeat for the remaining 3 onigiri (note 7).

Steps:
- Wash and cook the rice in a rice cooker as you normally would, or if you are doing it on the stove, you can follow the instructions on my sushi rice recipe (but be sure to use the amount of rice and water specified above).
- While you're waiting for the rice to cook and steam, remove the pits from the umeboshi.
- Cut the sheets of nori into thirds by either using scissors or creasing and tearing the nori.
- Prepare a medium bowl of water and a small bowl of salt.
- When the rice is done, fluff it with a spatula and transfer it to a bowl to cool. Keep the bowl covered with a damp towel to keep the rice from drying out.
- When the rice has cooled enough to handle without burning yourself, wet your hands in the bowl of water and dip your index finger into the bowl of salt.
- Rub the salt into both hands and then scoop 1/6 of the rice into one hand. Press one pitted umeboshi into the center of the mound of rice and cover it with the surrounding rice.
- Curl your fingers up and over the rice, and then use your index and middle fingers on your free hand to shape the rice into a triangle, but do not over squeeze the rice.
- Roll the rice ball on your hand onto another side and repeat until the triangle has equal length sides, and it's roughly the same thickness.
- To wrap the onigiri, place a strip of nori centered on the rice and then wrap each side of the nori around the triangle and under the base.
- Garnish the top of the onigiri with a little dab of umeboshi so you can identify what's inside.

ONIGIRI - JAPANESE RICE BALLS

Steps:
- Wash the rice in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Combine washed rice and 4 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; cover. Simmer rice until the water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rice rest, for 15 minutes to allow the rice to continue to steam and become tender. Allow cooked rice to cool.
- Combine 1 cup water with the salt in a small bowl. Use this water to dampen hands before handling the rice. Divide the cooked rice into 8 equal portions. Use one portion of rice for each onigiri.
- Divide one portion of rice in two. Create a dimple in the rice and fill with a heaping teaspoon of bonito flakes. Cover with the remaining portion of rice and press lightly to enclose filling inside rice ball. Gently press the rice to shape into a triangle. Wrap shaped onigiri with a strip of nori. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat to make a total of 8 onigiri.

Steps:
- Combine 2 cups water, rice, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent rice from sticking, until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Fluff with a fork; cool rice until easily handled, about 10 minutes.
- Fill a small bowl with water. Place 2 tablespoons of salt in another small bowl.
- Dip hands in water and rub salt over hands. Take a handful of warm rice and form it into a ball. Gently squish ball; with your hands in an "L" or "C" shape, apply gentle pressure to the sides to make a triangle shape.
- Wrap a strip of nori around the triangle, using a bit of water to help it stick if necessary.
