Wash the rice and prepare it in a pot or in a rice cooker.
Clasic Onigiri
Start by dipping the hands with water and adding a little salt.
To shape the lower part of the onigiri, use the left hand and for the upper part, use the right hand.
Then press the triangle in the palm of your hand and rotate the onigiri so that all the corners are well triangulated.
Optionally, add nori.
Furikake Onigiri
Add 1 teaspoon of furikake to the rice before shaping.
Proceed in the same way as with the clasic onigiri: water in your hands, a little salt and start shaping.
Optionally, add nori.
Tuna Mayo Onigiri
Mix the tuna with the mayonnaise.
Wet the hands, add a little salt, and take the rice.
This time it is a little different. Shape the rice into a bowl and add the tuna in the centre, then cover it with the rice and we can start shaping it into onigiri.
Optionally, add nori.
Yaki Onigiri
Prepare the unagi sauce.
Add the sugar and sake to a saucepan. Bring to the boil.
Then add the mirin and soy sauce. Bring to the boil and remove.
Prepare a clasic onigiri.
Heat a frying or cast iron pan over medium heat.
When hot, add the onigiri in and let it cook until it starts to brown, turn it over and toast it on the other side.
When it starts to brown, spread a little unagi sauce on top with a brush.
Turn it over and cook carefully as it burns quickly. Repeat with the other side and it's ready!
Spicy Chiken
In a bowl, add the chicken, soy sauce, sake and grated garlic. Mix and leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
Mix the mayonnaise and gochujang sauce in a small bowl.
In a frying pan over medium heat, add a little oil and sauté the ginger, carrot and spring onion.
Then cook the chicken until it is cooked through.
Finally, prepare an onigiri following the instructions for the basic onigiri.
When the onigiri is ready, make a vertical slit in the centre of the onigiri with your finger and place some of the spicy mayonnaise, the sautéed vegetables and the chicken.
Finally use a piece of nori seaweed to wrap the onigiri so that it holds the chicken and vegetables so that they don't fall off.
Onigiri Okaka
Mix the katsuobushi with the soy sauce.
Wet your hands, add a little salt, and take the rice.
Shape the rice into a bowl and add the Okaka filling in the centre. Then cover it with the rice and you can start shaping it into onigiri.
