Spicy Chicken Onigiri

  • 75 gr chicken cut into slices
  • 1 piece ginger cut into think slices
  • 1 piece carrot cut into think slices
  • 1 piece spring onion cut into think slices
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sake
  • 1/2 clove ajo
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise
  • gochujang sauce optional

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Optionally, add nori.
