Yaki Onigiri Multiple Ways

Looking good!
I've been wanting to try my hand at yaki onigiri. Any issues with it sticking to the grid? How crispy do you make it?

I've made Onigiri 5-6 times since I go the idea from your last post about it. So glad you posted about it, because this is one of my new favourite things to eat. With a few roasted veggies it's a great lunch.

@caliking nope, no issues with sticking to grate. I cook with fairly hot fire (~450) and raised grid. Don't flip too soon the first time. I like to get a thin outer layer that is caramelized with a soft moist interior.
@SkySaw I'm glad you like it, this has become one of our family's favorites too.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas. -
On the lost for this week. Ben wanting to try since I got the book. Seeing yours only makes the jones worse. May call you for pointers on favors and setup

@The Cen-Tex Smoker you'll love it, super easy and lots of ways to vary it up. Give me a ring any time.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

Doing it as we speak. I'll let you know how it turns out. We are doing brown rice...don't ask (Janell won)

I picked up a copy of the Japanese Grill book too and can't wait to try some of the recipes.

I also bought the book, I found the ingredients, now it's time to cook. Just deciding which to try first.Wisconsin, lbge, MM, kab, pig tail flippers, bear claws, and more rubs than I will admit to.

I have to use google on all your posts. That's an awesome looking cook.

The brown rice was an epic fail for Yaki Onigiri. The steak, salmon, and pork belly were winners.Keepin' It Weird in The ATX FBTX

@The Cen-Tex Smoker sorry to hear about the brown rice, will have to make sure I stick to plain sushi rice.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

I use short-grain brown rice for making it and it works out well. There are various types of Genmai, many of which have part of the husk removed. This is usually what you get when you order brown-rice sushi. I like to get the whole grain rice, so I buy the Nishiki brown rice. The rice in this photo is the whole grain Nishiki.

I guess I'm the only uncultured swine who - at first glance anyway - thought Yaki Onigiri might be the name of a Japanese porn actress and that this thread might be NSFW...

@CPARKTX do you mind posting a link to the original post? I'd like to give this a shot. Also, what is the Japanese Grill book the above folks are referencing? I'll have to give that a try as well since the wife and I love Japanese food.

@_Moose_ the book is "The Japanese Grill" (link below), and I highly recommend it...enjoyed every recipe we've cooked so far. I've probably posted on these cooks multiple times, I keep going back to them and doing new variations. e.g. http://eggheadforum.com/discussion/1156450/chicken-yakitori-and-yaki-onigiri

I have no idea what Yaki Onigiri might be, much less Sansyo or Shichimi Togarashi. It looks like rice, but is there something inside, or is it just rice out of the pot? I gather a bunch of people here love it, but, not having a clue and just looking at pretty mysterious pictures, I can't say it looks terribly appealing. Maybe if I had any idea what it was, what was in it -- anybody willing to post a recipe, maybe describe what it's like to eat this stuff? -
@Theophan it is very easy and a fun cook. At the most basic, Get sushi rice and cook per directions. Form into balls. Grill raised direct until the outer layer is just barely caramelized and hard. Brush lightly with soy sauce and cook another 30 seconds per side.
The Sansyo etc are spices and optional. You can also optionally mix in some additional ingredients like sesame seeds.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas. -
Yuummmm. Rice, soy sauce and to spice it up you can add sesame seeds....
I think I'll go with my original interpretation and images I had in my head.
(Note: I'm just messing with you guys and it's all good)

I like rice, like soy sauce, not sure grilling a ball of rice really sounds very good, but there's so much enthusiasm about this here I may have to give it a try.
I thought sushi rice was pretty sticky -- what do you to to keep them from sticking to the grid? -
@Theophan I don't do anything special, but make sure the grate is hot and don't flip too soon. Also be sure to thoroughly rinse the sushi rice before cooking.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.
