🍙💥 Spicy Salmon Onigiri 💥🍙 When @roybvis and I visited Japan many years ago, we fell in love and then quickly became obsessed with Onigiri. Here’s my homemade version. Ingredients 🍙 2 cups sushi rice 🍙 2 cups filtered water 🍙 300-350g tinned salmon (in olive oil) 🍙 2-4 Tbsp @gevityrx Sriracha Mayo 🍙 1-2 Tbsp sriracha or hot sauce (or more if you like it spicy) 🍙 2 avocados 🍙 Furikake seasoning to sprinkle on top (optional) 🍙 3 sheets nori cut into thick strips ✨ A small bowl of water (for dipping hands in) Instructions 1. Wash the rice until the water runs clear. Drain well. 2. Add rice and water in a saucepan. Follow cooking instructions on the rice packet. Remove from heat, gently fluff the rice with a fork, place a clean kitchen towel on top and place the lid on top of that. Let sit covered for 10 minutes. 3. Add tinned salmon, sriracha mayo and hot sauce to a bowl and mix with a fork. 4. In a separate small bowl, mash the avo using a fork. 5. Once the sushi rice is cool enough to handle, start assembling the onigiri. Wet your hands a bit (this will help prevent the rice from sticking to your hands during shaping). Add roughly 1⁄4 cup of sushi rice and gently press into a thick oblong shape in one palm of your hand. Add some of the salmon filling and avocado on top into the center. Spoon a bit more rice on top and then carefully close the rice over the filling using your hands to create a ball of rice. If necessary, use an additional pinch or two of rice to cover the filling. 6. Gently shape the rice ball into a triangle shape using the palms of one hand and the fingers of your other hand, rotating the rice ball as you go. Avoid compressing the rice too hard, it should hold together well but be lightly packed. 7. Wrap each onigiri in a nori sheet and sprinkle with furikake seasoning or black sesame seeds. 8. Repeat until all the rice and filling has been used up. Don’t forget to re-wet your hands between each onigiri as this makes it easy to roll and shape. 9. Eat them straight away, or store in the fridge overnight or until you’re ready to eat them which makes them gut friendly. #onigiri #reels #gutfriendly #healthyfood
