Peanut Butter Onigiririce Ball Recipes

VEGAN PARMESAN CRUSTED PEANUT BUTTER ONIGIRI (JAPANESE RICE BALLS)

Steps:

• Wash the rice until the water stays relatively clear and cook the rice along with the salt (with the lid on) on low heat until the rice absorbed all the water. Pour the brown rice vinegar onto the warm rice and fold it in. Let it cool off completely.
• Cut the nori sheet in 6 strips, so they could go around the bottom of the onigiri.
• Slightly wet your hands (this way it's easier to work with the rice and it's not that sticky) and form 6 balls.
• Press one ball flat in your hand, spread the peanut butter on one side of the circle (leave out the edges) and fold it together. Now form the onigiri in shape.
• Put a nori strip around the bottom. Pour the cashew parmesan on a shallow dish and dip the sides of the onigiri in the vegan parmesan.
• Enjoy! (If you don't serve them immediately, I'd suggest storing them in the fridge)

ONIGIRI - JAPANESE RICE BALLS

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.
