鮪お握り

Decided to お宅 today. So I bought some ingredients from supermarket yesterday, to prepare for today's meal. It's been a while since we had onigiri at home. Yee Hau pointed that out some weeks ago. So I made some :)

When I was trying to locate all the accessories in the kitchen this evening, I realized it had actually been a year since I last made onigiri. I haven't been making any since we moved here. Yea, a year!


Tuna Onigiri

Since it's going to take the same amount of effort, I cooked 2 cups of Japanese rice. Turned out, we had 18 small little onigiris! Hehe..

I had 4 and Yee Hau had 6 for dinner, with a cup of Japanese green tea. The rest of the onigiri will be our breakfast tomorrow :)

Ingredients:

1. Japanese short grain rice
2. Sushi vinegar
3. Sesame
4. Tuna (I used canned tuna)
5. Furikake
6. Pinch of salt and sugar
7. Seaweed

Methods:

1. Cook the Japanese rice as the instructions in the packet. I used the rice to water ratio, 1:1.5.
2. Cut the seaweed into desired size while waiting.
3. Boil water for green tea while waiting.
4. When the rice is cooked, add vinegar into the rice and stir well. (I used 1 tablespoon of vinegar for a cup of rice)
5. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar and stir.
6. If you're as lazy as me, you could add in the ingredients at this point and stir so that you won't have to do the wrapping later on. I add in the sesame, furikake and tuna. Stir them well.
7. Spoon the rice and ingredients into your onigiri mold. 
8. Wet your hand (prepare a bowl of clean water by the side), coat your hands with salt.
9. Take the rice out of onigiri mold with your "wet and salted" hands, wrap the rice with seaweed.
10. Continue until you finish wrapping all the rice.
11. Make yourself a cup of green tea.
12. Tadaa! Serve :)
