HOW TO MAKE ★NIKUMAKI ONIGIRI★BEEF WRAPPED RICE BALL (EP188)

Today, I’m going to be making, Nikumaki-Onigiri, beef wrapped rice ball.

We have so many varieties of rice balls, this is a high-end kind of onigiri.

Rich in taste and so satisfying, and easy to make!

If you don’t like fish in your Onigiri, this is the recipe you go for.

Serve as it is or cut in half.

I like to serve with Umeboshi.

Have a big bite of Sweet and savory riceball, and then take a little bite of Umaboshi.

These goes so well together.

You can use white rice as well.

I cooked rice with soy sauce, it tastes so much better than usual. 

Dried Shiitake mushroom and sesame seeds add a nice crunch and aroma.

It gives you power for the whole afternoon.

Give it a try and let me know how you like it!
