Summary
Onigiri mit Lachs is a dedicated site exploring the delightful world of Japanese rice balls, known for their distinctive triangular shape and versatility. Each onigiri is crafted from rice, water, and a variety of fillings, including fish, meat, or vegetables, often wrapped in a sheet of nori to prevent sticking. These handheld treats are popular in Japan and Germany for any meal or snack due to their taste, convenience, and affordability. The site offers a specific recipe for ume onigiri filling, along with a comprehensive guide to prepare onigiri from scratch, with a personal favorite highlighted being the salmon onigiri. It emphasizes the importance of cooking the salmon thoroughly since these rice balls are often enjoyed during outings like picnics. For those who might struggle with shaping the onigiri by hand, there's a recommendation for a mold to simplify the process.
Onigiri are triangular Japanese rice balls made from rice, water and a filling of fish, meat or vegetables. To prevent the hands from sticking to the rice, a nori leaf is usually wrapped around the onigiri. Because onigiri are handy, delicious, durable and cheap, they are popular in Japan and also in Germany. Whether for breakfast, lunch, dinner or for in-between, onigiri are always suitable.
This recipe is a guide for the Ume Onigiri filling. This means that only the filling is explained here. But don't worry, here you'll find the Onigiri basic recipe . My personal favorite onigiri is the Salmon Ongiri. It is made with salmon, spices, rice and water. Very simple but very delicious and healthy. Since the triangular rice balls are not eaten directly, but for example for picnics, the salmon should be cooked thoroughly.

Onigiri without technique
