Japanese grilled rice balls with soy glaze

These Japanese rice balls become irresistible once grilled: crisp on the outside, tender within, and lightly glazed with soy sauce. Humble, comforting, and far more craveable than their simplicity suggests.

Steps

  1. 1

    With damp, lightly salted hands, shape the rice into 8 firm triangles or rounds.

  2. 2

    Mix together the soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil.

  3. 3

    Place the rice balls in a nonstick skillet or on a hot griddle. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side until they develop a light crust.

  4. 4

    Brush with the soy mixture and cook for 1 minute more per side, just long enough to set the glaze without burning it.

  5. 5

    Wrap with a strip of nori if you like and serve warm or at room temperature.
