Cook rice according instructions. Let the rice cool down to room temperature. Season rice to taste with sesame oil and rice seasoning. I used shiso rice seasoning for mine

To make the rice balls I am using an Onigiri mold. Add seasoned rice to the top. Now press the onigiri.

Heat up a pan low medium heat. Add a thin layer of oil. Add the onigiri to the hot pan. Brush the top with soy sauce. Flip and brush the other side as well. Cook both sides until golden brown and crispy. Stick a small piece of seaweed on the bottom.

Add to bentos! In my bento box I also got mandarin, chicken wings, ham and cheese flowers.

Enjoy! ✿◕ ‿ ◕✿
