Description

Been fiddling around in the kitchen lately and I decided to start posting some of my foods on here. My first one for DA is my Chicken Onigiri that I made with my roommate.
Ingredients:
Short grain Rice (we used about 1 1/2 cups)
Water equal to the amount of rice you are cooking
Boneless chicken breast
Dried seaweed sheets
Salt & Pepper
Red pepper flake (Optional)

Start by putting the rice in a medium sized sauce pot. Run cold water over the rice. This will make the water cloudy. Empty the water out attempting to keep the rice in the pot. Repeat until water is less cloudy.
Pour the equal amount of water to the rice into the pot and set the stove to medium. Let it reach a slow boil, reduce heat and let the rice cook for 15-20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken. We used a George Foreman grill for this, but you can prepare it however you like. When the chicken has finished cooking, cut the chicken into small to medium sized pieces. Store until the rice has finished cooking.
After the rice is done, you will need to let it cool. You can prepare the Seaweed while waiting. cut the seaweed into strips about 3/4th of an inch wide and then cut them in half lengthwise. we used 1 sheet for our riceballs.
By now the rice has cooled, so you can retrieve the chicken. Wet your hands and scoop out some rice and put a piece of chicken in the center. In your hands, sprinkle some salt and pepper, this will let you work the flavors into the rice.
Shape the rice ball however you like. Wrap some of the seaweed around the base pat it down with water so that it will form with the rice easier. you can sprinkle red pepper flake on top for spice.
That everything!! A really simple meal at a good price. The rice was $3.09 for 2lbs, the seaweed was $1.99 for ten sheets and the chicken was $5.99 for 3 lbs. Enjoy!!
