Instructions

  1. Make the unagi sauce by combining tamari (or soy sauce), seasoned mirin (a type of Japanese sweetened rice wine), and sugar. Cook over medium heat to dissolve sugar for about 5 minutes until reduced to half the liquid amount (you should have about 1/3 cup).
  2. If you're using vegan fish like I did in the video, slice into 1/4 inch pieces and panfry on each side until crisp. Cut into pea-sized cubes.
  3. To make the onigiri, combine cooked rice, drained peas and corn, diced vegan fish, 1 tbsp mirin, 2-3 tbsp unagi (start with 2, taste, then add more if you want more), and 2 tbsp of furikake. Mix well until everything is evenly seasoned.
  4. Use a piece of plastic wrap to form 1-inch rice balls, press just until the rice sticks to each other (avoid breaking the rice). Place in bento box on a sheet of nori, shiny side up. Alternatively you can use silicone mini-muffin molds to separate the onigiri.
