I
know summer in London is unlike any other in the world but this year…the heat
was on for one week only and the autumn is coming, can you believe that? And I
have been wanting to make this Watermelon Onigiri, not sure if I still have chance
for summer picnic but I do need to get my hands on it, otherwise this post
would be set for next summer…in 2022.
INGREDIENTS
-Cooked
short grain rice
-Pink
vinegar mixture from radish pickles
-Aonori
seaweed
-Roasted
black sesame seeds
The
ingredients are simple. I use pink vinegar mixture from my homemade radish
pickles to colour the onigiri. (Add less water than usual when cooking the rice
to avoid watery while mixing with the pink vinegar.) Alternatively, you can mix
the rice with Mentaiko明太子(cod roe), kimchi, or
salmon seasoning to give it a shade of red. Shape it in triangle and leave the
bottom with white rice. (Onigiri mold just made my life easier here!) Cover the
bottom part with dried seaweed and decorate some black sesame seeds on top in
the end. Aren’t they just looking so lovely?
Hope
these onigiri cuteness would bring the summer back. At least once before autumn
kicks it off.
Also here is the Reels to show you how I made it!
