Other Notes
Onigiri Instructions:
Onigiri Recipe: For the rice: 1 tablespoon Salt 1 tablespoon Sugar ¼ cup Rice vinegar 4 cups rice Start making rice immediately!
For the toppings: Tuna/Mayo: 1 can tuna, 1 tablespoon mayo (or to taste) Pickled Radish (yellow): Chop it up! Pork Floss: Put in bowl with spoon Set out rice seasonings Sausages: Slice and fry until cooked
Set out: Seaweed, plastic wrap, toppings, rice, salt water
Moochi Instructions:
Starting about ½ hour before event:
Line microwaveable bowl with plastic wrap (one sheet if possible) Put in: 1:1 glutinous rice flour to water ratio (ex. 1 cup, 1 cup). Mix together Cover with saran wrapped plate (microwaveable) or other microwaveable cover. Microwave 4 minutes (or until correct consistency)
While microwaving: Line work area (like a pan or a cutting board or something) with foil (or saran wrap) Cover with potato starch
After the moochi is finished in the microwave: pull out by the saran wrap and dump onto starch covered surface COVER HANDS IN POTATO STARCH Also be careful of hot moochi dough! Divide into small balls, flatten each into a pancake, put filling inside, and pinch into mochi shape!
- People really like the onigiri, but the moochi was a little too messy to be popular
- Make sure people RSVP!
