Classic Onigiri is a simple and delicious Japanese rice ball that is perfect for a quick snack or a packed lunch. The main ingredients for this recipe are sushi rice, nori seaweed, and various fillings such as pickled plum, grilled salmon, or seasoned seaweed. To make Classic Onigiri, start by cooking the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly before shaping it into small triangles or balls. Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Place your desired filling in the center of each rice ball and shape it into a triangle or ball. Finally, wrap the Onigiri with a strip of nori seaweed to hold it together. Classic Onigiri is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be stored in a sealed container for a few hours. Serve it as a snack or pack it in a lunchbox for a tasty and convenient meal on the go.
