Onigiri with Saltbush Furikake

10 Minutes - Gluten Free

Ingredients (Serves 2)

  • 2 cups cooked sushi rice (warmed)
  • 2–3 tbsp Haiku Saltbush Furikake
  • 1–2 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
  • Nori sheets (seaweed), cut into strips or squares
  • Fillings (optional):
  • Pickled plum (umeboshi)
  • 20g grilled salmon flakes
  • 1 tbsp seasoned tuna mayo mix or 20g teriyaki chicken

Directions

1. Mix the rice and furikake: While the rice is still warm, transfer it to a bowl. Sprinkle 
in the Haiku Saltbush Furikake and mix gently, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout 
the rice.
2. Add fillings (optional): If desired, make a small indentation in the rice and place a 
teaspoon of your chosen filling inside. Seal the rice around the filling.
3. Shape the onigiri: Wet your hands with a little water to prevent sticking. Take a 
portion of the rice (about a 1/4 cup) and mold it into a triangle or ball shape, pressing 
gently as you form it. Repeat and make 2.
4. Wrap with nori: Place a strip of nori around the bottom of each onigiri or wrap it 
fully, depending on your preference.
5. Serve: Enjoy the onigiri fresh with the salty, earthy flavor of the saltbush furikake
