We've decided to create a "What is...?" section to answer some of our most frequently asked questions.
What exactly is Onigiri? The term
"nigiru" in Japanese means to form with one's hands.
Nigiri refers to sushi (because the rice is traditionally formed and molded with the sushi chef's hands).
Onigiri ("beautiful nigiri") is the delicious snack made from rice usually in a triangular form. The picture above shows an Onigiri sandwiched between a piece of crisp seaweed and stuffed with pork inside.
There are tons of creative ways of preparing Onigiri. This yummy Onigiri is pan-fried to give a crispy exterior, then smothered with a sweet miso paste, then sprinkled with bonito flakes.
One of our most popular
Onigiri mold from Japan is this traditional three triangular shaped mold. For a whimsical take on Onigiri, check out our mold with
three different shapes.
