These Yaki Onigiri (焼きおにぎり) or grilled rice balls are ultra-crispy on the outside, while the rice on the inside is fluffy and flavorful. I use a few tricks to achieve this, including seasoning the rice beforehand, pan-frying the onigiri, and using a light dusting of starch to help it hold its shape. Finished with a bit of butter, this easy preparation of the humble rice ball is next-level tasty.

Hey Mark,you're a genius.I made these with scallions,browned sesame seed,and a little ginger cooked in the rice.Tried frying them in sesame oil then wrapping the sides in nori strips.They were so good I can't believe they're not a controlled substance.

@stephanieginsberg8123 3 года назад

Just tried out this recipe, and filled the onigiri with left over shredded chicken and it was TANTALIZING. My taste buds are still trembling. I added furikake seasoning to the sides, and wrapped with nori *chef's kiss* Didn't have potato starch on hand, subbed with corn starch and the cronch was literally audible. Best tip ever, thank you so much for this amazing recipe! ~

Hi Stephanie, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it so much! Great idea stuffing it with some chicken👍🏽

@hiddennamemcnofind4964 3 года назад

For those wondering, you can sub corn starch and get the lovely golden result shown! Just use an incredibly light dusting (even less than shown) because it can get super overpowering super fast. 😅 I bet potato starch is milder than corn.

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

Hi Kitty, that makes sense, thanks for posting your observation. Cornstarch makes for a more crunchy crust whereas potato starch is more crispy (kinda like the difference between corn chips and potato chips). That's probably why a thinner layer works better.

@schattentaenzerin 3 года назад

Can you even imagine my delight that I have all of these ingredients at home (since I saw I can substitute potatoe starch for less corn starch). I'm so thrilled to try this. Might have to wait for my husband to be out for a while, he keeps annoying me by being nosy whenever I try a new recipe. The secret is to never let him know what's in it, else he gets really biased on not liking it before even trying. If he doesn't know, he most times ends up loving it ;)

@@NoRecipes Lol, I definitely will have to do that. Well one of the ways that they're different is by using ground goat or lamb instead of ground beef. Also our tomato sauce is thick and uses habanero, onions, garlic and both pureed and chopped tomatoes. In a bit of oil you'd fry and reduce the tomato mixture. In the mixings using coarsely ground peanuts, lemongrass, Nigerian basil, orange zest, habanero peppers, minced onions and garlic, ginger powder and salt. My mom would sometimes use finely grated yam or taro that has been par-cooked in it too. Mix everything together and make them into almond shaped mounds and let them cook in the sauce. It's super delicious haha. There are different ways of doing it but that's one of the base recipes.

@dogbiscuit1171 3 года назад

Looks yummy! I wonder if these will freeze after cooking, if so would I use a microwave to thaw? They look very portable, great snack for work. I wonder if they would hold together if I grill a riceball made of the innards of omurice? Thanks for another wonderful video!

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

Thanks! You can freeze rice, but it needs to be reheated or the rice will be crunchy due to the retrogradation of the rice. That being said, you'll lose the crispness on the exterior of this if you freeze it and reheat it. Regular onigiri will probably work better. As for the innards of omurice, the oil used to fry the chicken rice will make the balls fall apart. You can use the same method as this but use ketchup instead of soy sauce and then fill the onigiri with cooked chicken in the center. Then you can wrap it in my Usuyaki Tamago for an Omuonigiri.

@johninitaly 2 года назад

I made these today but wasn’t able to achieve the beautiful results of Mark Sensei. One fell apart completely! Not bad because it meant we had a whole lot of nice crispy rice to eat. Maybe our butter has a stronger flavor here so next time I would avoid using it. That said, they were really yummy!

@NoRecipes 2 года назад

Hi johninitaly, there are a couple of possibilities. The biggest one is the type of rice. Did you use Japanese shortgrain rice? Other types of rice such as medium grain will not stick together as well and will fall apart more easily. The second possibility is that the rice wasn't compacted enough. Normally with onigiri and sushi you don't want to press the rice together too much, but for yakionigiri you want to squeeze it together pretty tightly so it's less likely to fall apart. The final possibility is that it fell apart from being too rough with the handling when you were moving it around. Hope this helps! And yes, yaki onigiri that's fallen part does have the benefit of additional surface area to crisp so I'm glad to hear you were able to enjoy it anyway😀

@johninitaly 2 года назад

@@johninitaly You're welcome! Please check the package to make sure it says "shortgrain rice" a lot of companies label their products as "Japanese rice" or "sushi rice", but it's actually medium grain rice grown in other countries.

@rickclark1372 3 года назад

I just tried this. Instead of 2 TBSP soy sauce (I only had regular) I used I TBSP soy sauce plus 1 TBSP water with 1/4 tsp hondashi dissolved in it plus a pinch of salt. Very nice umami flavor in the result, though when I find the recommended soy sauce I want to make it again following the recipe. Great texture and toasty quality in the final product. I will make this more regularly. I wonder about substituting the butter with a small brushing of toasted sesame seed oil. Also I am wondering about the idea of possibly mixing some shiitake mushroom powder with the rice. I grate dried shiitake mushroom with a microplane.

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

By "Japanese soy sauce" I just mean regular Kikkoman (v.s. Chinese or Indonesian soy sauce, which tends to be thicker and darker), there's no dashi in it. Though using a dashi-based mentsuyu would be a great way to add a little extra oomph to the seasoning. As for using sesame oil, that's a great idea, however you're going to lose out on the umami that the butter adds. As for shiitake powder, if you like the flavor of shiitake it will definitely work well with the butter and soy sauce. I actually have a recipe coming soon to Bento Expo(should air sometime this month or next) where I make Yakionigiri stuffed into a shiitake mushroom and it's glazed with miso butter.

@rickclark1372 3 года назад

@@NoRecipes Thank you for taking the time to reply. I realize now I made a mental mistake about the soy sauce. I have Kikkoman Organic but I also read a recipe calling for Usukuchi soy sauce and confused it with this recipe. I think it was for tamagoyaki which I was also thinking about today. I realize with either soy sauce there is no dashi involved, I just thought it might add umami and result in a little lighter color onigiri.

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

@@rickclark1372 Ah gotcha! Usukuchi will work, but it has a higher sodium content (2-3% higher), so you'll need to reduce the amount slightly. It will also get you a lighter color, but Yaki-onigiri is meant to be a little brown.

Well now you’ve done it - just kidding. My daughter and I both adore onigiri, and so I make them quite often. My husband and son are indifferent - how anyone could be all “meh” about the deliciousness that is a properly made onigiri I will never understand. I make the flavors my daughter and I like best - mainly umeboshi, tuna salad, or salmon. But I just made your grilled onigiri using your potato starch and butter technique and now we are disagreeing. I’m totally in love with the crispy texture and the caramelized taste of the cooked soy sauce, but my daughter much prefers the soft textured plain version. So now I’ll have to make both every time I make them. It’s really not a big deal, and I’m still learning how to pan fry them without having them fall apart on me. I got much better with the second batch, as I controlled the heat better and didn’t move them about too much while they formed that delicious crispy surface. Thanks again! This was a fun one to try.

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

😆 Perhaps I can get your husband and son into the fray with a meat-wrapped onigiri (it's a specialty of the area of Japan that I'm from). Basically the rice ball is wrapped in a thin layer of meat (usually very fatty beef or pork belly), then it's panfried and glazed with a sweet and savory sauce.

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

Hi Michelle, it doesn't have to be clear, you just don't want the water looking like milk.The number of times you have to wash it are function of the size of the bowl you use and how much rice you add. For my 5 cup rice cooker, if I'm cooking 1 cup it only takes me 2 changes of water. If I'm doing 2 cups I usually do 3-4 changes. Also be sure to agitate the water and rice the first few times as this will quickly remove the surface starch so you don't continue to have starch coming off with each rinse.

Hi Thomas, you're welcome to try, but you'll probably have a hard time getting the onigiri to hold together. Short grain rice has a much higher ratio of amylopectin relative to amylose compared to medium or long grain rice. This makes the starch more sticky so the grains of rice hold together.

@NoRecipes 2 года назад

Hi Areanna, the starches in rice retrograde when chilled (meaning they return to a crystalline form like when the rice is uncooked). This is why refrigerated rice is better used in something like fried rice. Yaki-onigiri is particularly problematic since it loses a lot of moisture while pan-frying it. I would not recommend freezing it. If you do, you'll probably want to recook it as fried rice, or in a porridge.

I wish I could show you all my pan full of grilled rice. There one rice ball left intact 🥲

@NoRecipes 2 года назад

Hi Erik, did the rice stick to the pan or did the balls fall apart?

@Bagassu777 3 года назад

I tried to do it but the balls breaked with the heat... :(

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

Hi Paula, I'm sorry to hear they fell apart. There are a couple possibilities for this. 1) What kind of rice did you use? Onigiri needs to be made with Japanese short-grain rice otherwise it will not stick together properly. 2) The balls may not have been packed tightly enough. For yakionigiri you need to compress the rice much more than you would for normal onigiri to keep it from falling apart 3) If the balls fell apart when you tried to flip them, it could be because they were sticking to the pan. If this is the case, you may need a new non-stick pan. If you tell me a bit more about when and how they broke apart, I might be able to narrow in on the cause a little better.

@Bagassu777 3 года назад

@@NoRecipes hi! Thanks for answering ! I used short grain but not japanese short grain haha. It was my first time making any type of onigiri so I compressed the best I could and they were okay until I put them on the pan, then after some minutes the majority of them falled apart when I touched them to flip it :(. Maybe it's really the type of rice ! I will try with japanese rice next time. Thank you for your advice!

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

@@Bagassu777 That may have been the issue. Japanese short grain rice is very sticky and should stick together even without much effort, but to keep it held together when you fry it, it needs to be pretty solidly compressed. You might want to consider picking a small plastic mold you can use for this, which will make it easier to create a shape with 2 flat sides so it makes good contact with the pan.

Hi Amudo, what kind of rice are you using?

@MysteriousBeingOfLight Год назад

@@NoRecipes I used Japanese rice the instant one

@NoRecipes Год назад

@@MysteriousBeingOfLight Hi Amudo, you're going to have to provide a more detailed description of your rice. When you say "instant" is it a just add water kind of thing or is it a quick cook kind of rice? Do know the brand and cultivar of the rice? Usually when the rice isn't sticking together it's because the rice is not part of the japonica subspecies. But "instant rice" sounds sketchy because onigiri needs to be made with freshly cooked rice to hold together. The starches in the rice retrograde over time which makes the rice go from sticky to brittle so if the rice has been precooked or processed in some way, this would explain it.

All goes very well as in your video until I turn it over in the pan. When turned over, it disintegrates.

@NoRecipes 2 года назад

Hi Elula, sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. There are a few possibilities here 1) What kind of rice did you use? Some brands of rice sold as "Japanese" or "sushi rice" are actually medium grain which aren't as sticky as Japanese short grain rice and could result in the onigiri falling apart 2) Was the onigiri as brown on one side as in the video? If you it's not browned for long enough it doesn't form a thick enough crust to hold the rice together 3) Did you use an onigiri press or shape it by hand? Yaki onigiri needs to be much more compacted than a regular one otherwise it might fall apart. 4) Because the rice is pretty sticky the onigiri will stick together if placed too close to each other and it can stick to the flipping implement. you use. I used tongs with a very small surface area to keep them from sticking, but if you're using regular tongs, you may want to oil them first. I know a failure can be frustrating, but I hope these help you narrow down the issue and fix it for next time😀 Let me know if you have any more questions.

@@NoRecipes thank You for advice. Maybe rice was not good enouh becuse 2) yes, 3) yes, 4) not too close. I'll keep on trying.

@NoRecipes 2 года назад

@@SuperCzarownica It's more an issue about the variety of rice than the quality. Shortgrain rice has a higher ratio of amylopectin relative to amylose. These are the two types of starches and amylopectin has a structure that makes it more sticky than amylose when cooked. If you have the problem again, please take a photo and post a link to it here. That should make it easier to pinpoint what the issue is.

No I am mad at you... you dont even have a Zojirushi Rice Cooker lol

@NoRecipes 3 года назад

I used to own a Zoji when I lived in the US, it was the best rice cooker I could get there, but we have a much larger selection of rice cookers here, and this one makes the best rice I've ever had come out of a rice cooker. Despite what Uncle Roger says, in Japan properly made rice is made in a donabe (clay pot). This rice cooker makes rice that tastes like it was made in a donabe.
