Notes

  • *1 If you don't have a rice cooker, please refer to the post "how to cook rice without a rice cooker" 
  • e cooker" 
  • *2 You can replace with any rice seasonings. 
  • *3 It does not have to be a triangle shape. You can shape them any way you like.  
  • Tip 1: Shape the cooked rice while the rice is still warm. It will be a little difficult to shape when the rice has cooled. 
  •  Tip 2: Shape firmly to avoid the rice balls falling apart while they are grilled. 
  • *4 Be careful not to burn the rice balls once you brush with miso sauce because miso sauce contains sugar so could be easily burnt.
