Watermelon Onigiri 西瓜飯糰

I know summer in London is unlike any other in the world but this year…the heat was on for one week only and the autumn is coming, can you believe that? And I have been wanting to make this Watermelon Onigiri, not sure if I still have chance for summer picnic but I do need to get my hands on it, otherwise this post would be set for next summer…in 2022.

 

INGREDIENTS

-Cooked short grain rice

-Pink vinegar mixture from radish pickles

-Aonori seaweed 

-Roasted black sesame seeds

 

The ingredients are simple. I use pink vinegar mixture from my homemade radish pickles to colour the onigiri. (Add less water than usual when cooking the rice to avoid watery while mixing with the pink vinegar.) Alternatively, you can mix the rice with Mentaiko明太子(cod roe), kimchi, or salmon seasoning to give it a shade of red. Shape it in triangle and leave the bottom with white rice. (Onigiri mold just made my life easier here!) Cover the bottom part with dried seaweed and decorate some black sesame seeds on top in the end. Aren’t they just looking so lovely?

 

Hope these onigiri cuteness would bring the summer back. At least once before autumn kicks it off.

Easy Flower Sushi for Bento Idea 小花壽司

 

Creating a decorative bento box might be time-consuming but making this flower sushi roll (or ‘norimaki’のりまき) is easier than you thought, and I think even a bento making beginner can easily achieve with this tutorial!

 

I first saw this idea from mamatastv It’s a Japanese account which offers many useful tips especially for those mums/dads who desperately need fun things to do with kids at home but it’s also an informative platform for easy recipes or food idea inspiration. Even you don’t understand Japanese, you can easily learn from watching their short videos.

 

And to make this adorable flower sushi roll, the ingredients are just simple:

-Egg sheet

-Frankfurter or sausage

-Edamame beans

-Nori sheet

-Vinegared sushi rice

 

Method

-Wrap frankfurter with egg sheet, set aside.

-Lay on a bamboo rolling mat, place plastic wrap (optional) and nori sheet shiny-side down, spread a thin layer of vinegared rice on the nori sheet with a gap on the edge.

-Place two rows of edamame beans over the rice, put wrapped frankfurter egg roll on top.

-Lift the edge of mat and roll firmly, then unroll to let it rest for 5 minutes.

-Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into pieces.

-Serve with soy sauce and pickled ginger if you like.
