Tempura Onigiri is a unique and delicious variation of Onigiri that combines the crispy texture of tempura with the softness of rice. To make Tempura Onigiri, start by preparing the tempura batter by mixing flour, water, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Dip your desired fillings such as shrimp, vegetables, or chicken in the tempura batter and deep fry them until they are golden brown and crispy. Let the tempura cool slightly before using them as the filling for the Onigiri. Prepare the sushi rice and shape it into small triangular or round balls. Place a piece of tempura in the center of each rice ball and shape it into a triangle or round shape. Finally, wrap the Onigiri with a strip of nori seaweed. Tempura Onigiri is a delightful and satisfying snack that combines the best of both worlds - crispy tempura and fluffy rice.
