Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 nori sheet
- 1 cup cooked Japanese short-grain rice
- 1/2 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1/2 carrot thinly julienned
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Gochujang Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Gochujang
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Bring a small saucepot with water to a boil. Blanch baby spinach by cooking the spinach in boiling water, then once they’re soft, remove them and run under cold water. Squeeze as much excess water from the spinach, then set aside.
- Assemble the Onigirazu by laying a large piece of plastic wrap on a clean dry surface. The plastic wrap will help make the Onigirazu easier to cut and eat by holding everything together. Then, lay a nori sheet on top of the plastic wrap shiny side down, with one cover facing you.
- Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking then gently lay 1/4 cup of cooked rice in the center of the nori sheet in the shape of a square. Pour about 1 1/2 tablespoons of gochujang sauce on top of the rice, being careful not to spill on the nori. I find pouring it directly in my Onigirazu easier to eat on the go, but you can also serve it on the side and pour it onto your seaweed sandwich as you eat.
- Then layer on some of the cucumber, baby spinach, carrot, sliced avocado, and finally another ¼ cup of cooked rice. The top layer of rice is the glue to keep the Onigirazu sealed. Keep all layers in a square shape.
- Seal the Onigirazu by gently folding each corner of the nori sheet to the center. Make sure the nori and fillings are tightly snug (without ripping the nori). This will make it easier to eat. Wrap the Onigirazu with plastic wrap. Again, you want to make sure the Onigirazu is tightly wrapped to keep its square shape. Repeat the process for the remaining Onigirazu.
- Once you’re ready to eat, you can cut it in half and enjoy!
Notes
- Rice: Japanese short-grain rice is stickier than long-grain rice and is typically labeled sushi or sweet rice. It can be easily found at local Asian and Japanese markets or online.
- Vegetables: Feel free to swap out or add in any of your favorite veggies! It's a great way to clear your fridge with any vegetables hanging out in the back.
