Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups medium grain rice (Kohuko Rose, Nishiki, Botan) (300g)
  • ¼ cup zakkokumai (mixed grains) (50g)
  • 2 cups water (480ml)
  • 1 tsp salt mix with 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 2 to 3 sheets nori (cut into strips) (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare 2 to 3 onigiri molds of any shape.
  • Mixed the rice and grains together. Rinse rice mix 4 to 5 times or until water runs clear. Soak rice in fresh water for 20 minutes. Drain.
  • Place rice mix in a medium sized pot with 2 cups (480ml) water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and cook until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and leave pot on for another 5 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Fluff up rice with fork.
  • Wet the onigiri mold and hands with salted water. Fill mold to the top with cooked rice. Use lid to compact rice. Remove lid, turn mold over and press down the center to unmold rice.
  • Wrap or decorate with nori strips.
