Print RecipeServings: 6 people
Best easy rice dish to make for on the go snack, or a fun dinner as you watch some anime.
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups Cooked Japanese short-grain rice*
- ¼ cup brown rice miso
- 1-2 teaspoons salt
- Cooked baby bella mushroom 2 cups
- Cooked seasoned pork
- Colby jack cheese cut into cube shapes
- American Cheese or smoked gouda cheese
- Optional 4-5 nori sheets cut into thirds or strips
- Optional sesame
Instructions
- Follow the instructions in our sushi rice post.
- Keep rice warmed while you assemble the rest
- Add the cooked mushroom to the cooked rice and add 1 tbsp of miso to add back the flavor
- Stuff in the pork and cheese of your choice.
- Style the onigiri as you want, if you want more cheese, less meat do so.
- I used an onigiri mold for each one to hold the shape better after everything is stuffed
- Wrap with the nori sheets around it, and top it with sesame for added crunch.
Notes
- The onigiri mold was a lifesaver, and made making these in batches much easier. We were feeding about 5 to 6 people and wanted it to be kinda a make-your-own with your own flavors and choices. This was easy to use and very good.
