- 3 cups cooked short grain rice from 1.5 cups of raw rice
- 1 tablespoon miso paste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1.5 tablespoon neutral oil
While your cooked rice is still warm, divide mixture into six portions. Wet hands with water before taking a handful of rice and forming into a triangle onigiri shape. Repeat with remaining rice.
In a bowl, whisk together miso, honey and melted butter.
Air Fryer
Place rice balls into the tray of an air fryer - you may need to cook in batches.
Dab lightly with oil on both sides of your onigiri. Set air fryer to 10 minutes at 190ºC. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Dab miso honey butter on one side of the rice ball and cook for two minutes. Flip them over, dab on more of the glaze and cook again. Be careful - the combination of miso and honey means they could burn easily, so keep and eye on them!
Your yaki onigiri should have crispy edges with a caramelised, slightly charred glaze.
Pan fried
Add oil to pan and heat over a medium heat.
Place rice balls in and grill on each side for about one minute. You may need to do this in batches.
Dab your miso honey butter on each side of the rice ball and grill face down until caramelised, charred and crispy.
