How to make yaki onigiri

2 genuinely different takes — a classic, and a faster or lighter route. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

Grilled in a pan

15 minutes · serves 2 · Very easy

What you need

  • 400g cooked short grain rice, warm
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp mirin
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

What you do

  1. 1Wet your hands, salt them, and press the rice into four firm triangles. Firm is the whole trick — loose ones fall apart in the pan.
  2. 2Dry-fry them in a non-stick pan over medium heat for 4 minutes a side, until a pale crust forms.
  3. 3Mix the soy, mirin and sesame oil and brush it on. Back in the pan 1 minute a side until it catches and smells toasted.
