Ingredients
Japanese steam rice - 4 cups dried nori (seaweed) - 8 strips salt - to taste ume (pickled plum)/grilled salted salmon/okaka/bonito flakes
Method
Cook the steam rice. Grill salted salmon if you are using, tear into small chunks and set aside. After the rice is cooked, put 1/2 cup of steam rice in a rice bowl. Make a dent in the center of the rice and fill in with ume/salmon/okaka. Wet your hands (so that it won't stick), rub some salt, pressing the rice lightly with both palms, and form the rice into a triangle. Finally, wrap the rice ball with a strip of nori. Makes 8. |
