Making Omusubi
おむすび Rice balls

Rice balls, a favorite food of the Japanese, are called omusubi or onigiri. They are
delicious, portable, and fun to make! Rice balls are most often triangular in shape,
though in Japan they may also be oblong shaped. The rice is often seasoned with salt
or other flavorings. This not only adds flavor, but helps to preserve the rice. Inside the
rice ball, you usually place pickled plums, flavored strips of kelp, or dried bonito flakes.
Then “wrap” the rice ball with nori (seaweed) for extra flavoring and also to prevent the
rice from sticking to other foods. The nori also prevents the rice from sticking to your
hands as you eat the rice ball. Try this recipe and enjoy your omusubi! Take a photo of
yourself and the omusubi and show it to your teacher, or bring your creation to class if
your teacher asks!

Ingredients: 2 cups uncooked rice (glutinous rice or sushi rice)
Umeboshi (pickled plum)
Salt
Strips of nori (seasoned dry seaweed)
