Spring onigiri:
- 3 cups sushi rice
- about 400 gram peas
- some cooking cream
- some butter
- some mint
Cook the rice in the rice cooker. Meanwhile cook the still frozen peas for 3 minutes and drain them. Then mash them up and add the butter, mint and cream. You will get an nice and creamy substance which you can use to fill your onigiri. I loved the taste, the mint makes it really fresh. Next time I might add some lemon juice for the extra bite. It kinda missed something, but I am trying it again to perfect it.
I heard that there arent that much vegetarian onigiri fillings out there. That is why I am experimenting myself, but I would love to hear your ideas in a comment :)
How about a bit of cream cheese instead of butter? And/or chives (bieslook)?
ReplyDeleteYeah I might try that :) I love cream cheese & avocado combi as well.
ReplyDeleteI love all the green! It looks like a meadow after a nice spring rain. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sweet pea onigir sounds tasty.
You can put anything in your onigiri! A favorite of mine is lentils, or kidney beans. Also don't forget that rice is so bland it really absorbs everythings flavor so some fruit and cream cheese inside would be just as good as something salty!
ReplyDeleteCynni- I got your last card but there was no return address and I seem to have misplaced the other envelope! Can you email me your snail mail address again? Thanks!! ^_^ -Melanie (melanieruth78@gmail.com)
