Free Healthy Recipe - Onigiri (Rice balls)

Dairy free

This recipe makes 8 onigiri (Japanese riceballs).
Cook the rice the night before so it is cold and sticky and easy to mould.

Ingredients
4 cups short grain brown rice, cooked and cold
1 tsp sea salt
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 sheets nori
4 umeboshi plums pips removed and cut in half
Method

Prepare rice in advance.

Divide the rice into 8 equal portions. Mix the sesame oil and salt together in a small dish.
Wet your hands with water and add a little of the salt and sesame mixture into your hand.
Make a little hole in the center of the rice with your finger and fill the hole with a piece of the plum. Cover the filling with rice and press firmly with both hands, making sure the filling is securely in the center. Squeeze the rice into a oval or triangle-shaped ball. Wrap a strip of nori around the onigiri.

Serve with a dipping sauce of soy and sesame.
