Ingredients

  • 1 can tinned fish (I like anything from Fishwife, salmon or trout is ideal)
  • 1/2 cup white rice (Instant rice is great for this)
  • 2 Tbss Furikake (I prefer the bonito furikake but choose your favorite)
  • 1 Tbsp Kewpie mayo (American mayo is okay in a pinch)
  • 1 tsp Sriracha
  • 2 Tbsp chopped green onions
  • 1 packet nori

Instructions

  1. Put everything except for your nori in a bowl and mix.
  2. Serve with your nori on the side, placing a small rice ball into the nori for an easy onigiri bite as you eat.

Notes

  • You can make this healthier by making multigrain rice (e.g. white rice with quinoa, black rice, brown rice, etc.) but I absolutely would not fully sub white rice for anything like basmati or jasmine.
  • Shelled edamame, sunomono salad (cucumber salad), sigeumchi-namul (spinach banchan), and kimchi are all great vegetable additions to make this recipe healthier
  • Measure with your heart. It's QUICKER.
  • This is a great pantry meal to keep around. If you don't have an Asian grocery store near you, a lot of similar products can be found online and on Amazon
