Print Recipe
Servings: 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.
