Vegetable Onigiri is a healthy and refreshing variation of onigiri that incorporates a variety of colorful vegetables as the filling. To make this nutritious onigiri, you will need cooked Japanese short-grain rice, your choice of vegetables (such as carrots, cucumber, avocado, or radish), salt, and nori seaweed. Start by finely chopping or julienning the vegetables of your choice. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, then take a small handful of rice and shape it into a triangle or oval shape. Make a small indentation in the center of the rice and add a spoonful of the chopped vegetables. Cover the filling with more rice and shape it into a ball or triangle, ensuring the filling is completely enclosed. Repeat the process with the remaining rice and filling. Finally, wrap each onigiri with a sheet of nori seaweed for added flavor and presentation. Vegetable Onigiri is a delicious and nutritious option for a light and refreshing meal or snack.
