To make rice balls, also known as onigiri, you will need the following ingredients:


  • Cooked sushi rice
  • Salt
  • Fillings of your choice (such as cooked salmon, pickled plum, or grilled tofu)
  • Here are the steps to make onigiri:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the rice.
  • Take a small handful of cooked sushi rice and gently shape it into a triangular or round shape, depending on your preference.
  • Place a small amount of filling in the center of the rice. You can also sprinkle the filling with a little bit of salt to enhance the flavor.
  • Cover the filling with another small handful of rice and gently press the rice to shape it into a triangular or round shape.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining rice and fillings.
  • Optional: wrap the onigiri in nori (dried seaweed) to give it a nice flavor and to help prevent the rice from sticking to your hands.
You can also get creative with the fillings and try different combinations to suit your taste. Enjoy!
