Ooo.. rice balls? I like that idea! Do you happen to have a recipe? I've no idea how to make them.
Ingredients:
cooked rice (use short-grain rice)
filling - salty, pickled plum, grilled salmon, tuna fish mixed with mayonnaise sauce *Whatever you like, you can choose as filling
salt
dry seaweed sheet (Nori)
Method of preparing onigiri:
Cook rice according to the recipe of the back of the rice bag.
Prepare some water in a bowl. Wet your hands in the water and sprinkle a little of salt on the palms.
While the rice is warm, place a handful of rice on the palms.
Place your favourite filling in the centre of rice and form rice in a triangular shape by tossing the rice in the hands. Make sure the filling comes inside of the rice ball.
Cut dry seaweed sheet in strip. Wrap around the rice balls with the dry seaweed sheet strip.
Tips for preparing them in different ways
To make a triangular shape, hold one hand with the palm side up and hold the other hand in a mountain shape over the palm of the other hand.
You can also wrap the rice balls with dry seaweed sheet just before eating them, so that the seaweed sheet is nice and crispy!
Rose Flame said:Thanks. I'll definitely have to try out that recipe. But I do have a question; Aren't rice balls sometimes served as a desert?
Just thought of this, and I realized I hadn't metioned it before. This seems sort of off topic, but it's important that you guys know; I am NOT the final authority on whether your work gets published or not. This is how it works;
(1)work is sent to appropriate editor
(2)editor sends approved works to me for editting (spelling mistakes, misuse of words, etc)
(3)editted works go to our sponsor for approval and any further polishing
(4)Final draft of magazine and website materials goes through principal for final approval.
Alright, got that taken care of.
