Hi everyone, today I am sharing a long overdue post on making Onigirazu (おにぎらず) which I have posted months back over at Instagram and Dayre. This super easy to make rice balls is similar to sandwich concept using "stacking/layering" method with rice and assorted fillings such as meat, vegetables and or egg to make rice parcel.
In the step-by-step recipes below I made both version of Pork and Chicken Katsu Onigirazu as well as some with egg mayonnaise, luncheon meat and etc. So be creative and create your very own onigirazu with your favourite ingredients.
Using deep-fried chicken cutlet to make onigirazu and kimbap in a box serve with steamed pumpkin and soy egg. The rice ball and roll are loaded with meat and veggie which definitely a good "gimmick" to get the kids to eat their greens without much compliant.
The idea of making onigirazu with stir-fry pork comes from one of my favourite Japanese dish known as Gyudon (Beef Bowl). As I am not good in handling "beef" I decided to do a cheat version using pork fillet and store bought yakitori sauce. Trust me the result was amazing and we love the sweet and savoury pork that wrapped between some warm rice. With that I also made miso tofu soup to go with the meal.
Making use of some fresh prawn which I bought from the wet market I decided to make this prawn onigirazu using one of my favourite super food; "avocado". With that I also add in egg mayo to boost up extra protein plus a bowl of hearty ABC Soup (recipe here) to warm the stomach and soul.
For many of us luncheon meat (spam ham) and egg are one of those comfort food that often filled up our hungry stomach when pair with bread or instant noodles. Here beside using fried pork cutlet, I also made an onigirazu with luncheon meat and soft centre egg upon the boy request. We super love this combination as it make a great handy meal at all time of the day.
Lastly hope you find the above post useful while planning for some quick meals. Till then have a great weekend ahead and I will try to update more backlogs soon.

最近我们大家都被"免捏御饭团 - Onigirazu"的魅力给迷住了。这款新奇又多样化的饭团不像日式传统饭团那样需要用手去捏米饭, 而是用做三明治的方法把材料叠一叠然后包起来。做法整体也只需要四个简单的步骤就能快速完成:海苔片,叠上米饭和配菜,接着从四边折起固定饭团后就可切半享用。
以上是我先前做的炸鸡排蔬菜饭团, 用的是炸鸡排和一些蔬菜吃起来口感特好, 因为香脆的鸡排陪上温温的米饭真是赞。 你可以用不同的外皮如煎蛋皮,高丽菜或海苔片加上自己喜爱的配菜和米饭来做出各式各样口味的饭团。这可是出外野餐和准备便当的好点子。
(分量: 2人份 | 准备: 10 分钟 | 烹煮时间: 15 分钟)
材料:
1杯米
2片炸鸡排
少许菠菜,用水烫
少许红萝卜丝
蛋黄/美乃滋酱
2张海苔片
做法:
1. 香米洗净沥干后加入适量的水用饭锅或火炉煮熟,备用。
2. 菠菜用热水烫后拌入调味料(1茶匙芝麻油,1/4 酱油和1茶匙烤过的芝麻),备用。
3. 免捏御饭团的步骤:首先将1张海苔片放在保鲜膜上然后均匀地把2汤匙的饭铺平在中央。
4. 依照次序把少许的菠菜,红萝卜丝和1片炸鸡排放在饭上。接着在鸡排抹上美乃滋(也可用其它酱料)再叠上一层饭。
5. 最后将海苔片从左右四方往中央折包覆住食材,再用保鲜膜包好固定形状稍等5分钟就可切对半享用。
