Before you jump to Onigiri recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Ways To Live Green And Save Money In The Kitchen.

Remember when the only people who cared about the ecosystem were tree huggers and hippies? That’s a thing of the past now, with everybody being aware of the problems besetting the planet and the shared burden we have for turning things around. The experts are agreed that we are not able to change things for the better without everyone’s active participation. Each and every family should start generating changes that are environmentally friendly and they must do this soon. The kitchen area is a good place to start saving energy by going much more green.

A lot of electrical power is definitely wasted when fridges and freezers, both heavy users of electricity anyway, are not operating efficiently. If you happen to be in the market for a new one, the good news is that compared with types from 10 or more years ago, they use about 60% less electricity. The appropriate temperature for food is 37F in the fridge and 0F in the freezer, and sticking to these will use a lesser amount of electricity. You can minimize how often the motor has to run by routinely cleaning the condenser, which will save on electricity.

As you can see, there are many little things that you can do to save energy, as well as save money, in the kitchen alone. Green living is not that difficult. It’s concerning being practical, most of the time.

We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to onigiri recipe. You can cook onigiri using 7 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

The ingredients needed to make Onigiri:
  1. Provide 2 c short grain rice
  2. Use 2 1/2 c water
  3. You need 1/8 tsp sea salt
  4. Prepare 1 tsp olive oil
  5. Provide 4 tbsp onigiri rice topping (Gohan no mazete 6 shoku no yasai)
  6. Take Water
  7. Take Salt
Instructions to make Onigiri:
  1. Wash the rice in a fine holed colander in cold water. In a rice cooker or instant pot, place the rice and the water. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  2. Add 1/8 tsp salt and olive oil. Cook on high pressure in instant pot for 14 minutes on the rice setting. Turn off instant pot and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Toast nori in a toaster oven briefly to warm up and release flavor. Do not over cook! Cut nori in 1 inch strips with scissors (usually pre marked on the nori sheet)
  4. Release steam on the rice cooker. Remove 1/2 the rice and place in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp rice topping seasoning and mix well until distributed through out rice.
  5. Get ready to form rice balls by placing a bowl with cool water and a bowl with salt in your work area.
  6. Moisten your hand with water then lightly press your fingers in the salt. Rub salt and water through out your fingers and palms. Form rice balls into ovals about 3 tbsp-1/4 c at a time. Wrap with nori strips, rough side against the rice. Shiney side out.
  7. Continue until all rice is formed into balls.
  8. Save the other 1/2 of rice to make another batch at another time with rice topping and nori strips as previously.
  9. NOTES: The rice topping I used was from an Asian grocery store. Many have artificial flavors and additives. This one has shiso and vegetables. Not a lot of additives. The colors are very pretty and make for a tasty and nice looking onigiri.
  10. NOTES: You can shape the onigiri in the traditional triangular or flat mound shape if you wish. Sites that I have visited on onigiri recommend wrapping the container in a thick towel if refrigerating for lunch the next day as to not let the rice get to cold and harden. To make a batch with the leftover rice, I steam in the instant pot with 1-2 tbsp of water for 3 minutes.
