Recipe:
Onigiri (Rice Balls)
Cooking time, process, oven temp, etc:
Home made Teriyaki Sauce:
One Cup Soy Sauce
One Cup Mirin
2/4 Cup Sugar
Combine the soy sauce and mirin into a sauce pan and bring it to a rolling boil. After the rolling boil add the sugar and let boil until all the sugar is dissolve and do not let it boil to long or it will burn.
Rice:
About 4 cups of sticky rice, I use Calrose Rice and you might need more or less depending on how much of the filling you put into the rice ball.
Chicken stock and Hon-Dashi (Bonito Fish stock what I use looks and smells like fish food but very good) But I use these to taste so its up to you to how much or little you use or not at all to add in.
I cook the rice in a rice cooker just follow the directions on your rice cooker or follow the instructions on how to cook the rice on the bag of rice. Then added the chicken and dashi into the water before you cook it and then let it cook.
Filling:
2 chicken breast
6 eggs
2 cups of cheese
A dash of milk
And some of the Teriyaki sauce
Cut up the chicken into little chunks, then use a large skillet to cook the chicken in the teriyaki sauce. Once the chicken is cook take it out of the pan, but leave the sauce as there shouldn't be too much of it left in the pan and crack the six eggs into the pan with the milk. Once the eggs are cooked add back the chicken and then add the cheese and cook until all the cheese is melted.
Once the rice and the filling are cooled off to were you can handle both of them, as you don't want it to burn your hands while making the Onigiri. You will want a bowl of water with a little salt in the water to help keep the rice from sticking on your hands. Once you have your hands a little wet take some of the rice in one hand and flatten it out and then take some of the filling and put it into the middle of the flatten rice, then take some more rice to cover the filling and press to getter into a ball and if you want you can make them triangle shaped but they are a little harder to do and repeat until rice and filling are gone.
