Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked white rice
• 2 tablespoons miso paste
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons finely sliced cucumber
• 1 teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds

Directions

1. First, measure 3 cups of previously cooked white rice into a large bowl and set aside.

2. In a separate bowl, mix together the miso paste, sesame oil, and soy sauce until well blended.

3. Add the miso mixture to the bowl with the cooked rice and mix everything together until all of the rice is evenly coated in the miso paste.

4. Now it’s time to shape the Onigiri. Grab a small handful of rice and shape it into a ball. Flatten the ball by pressing it into your palm, making a triangle-like shape.

5. Place a few slices of cucumber into the center of the Onigiri and sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds over it before wrapping it up.

6. Lastly, heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Add the Onigiri to the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side.

7. Once the Onigiri is golden brown, transfer it to a plate. Enjoy! <3
