# Ingredients:
→ Rice Balls
01 -
2 cups water
02 -
2 cups short-grain rice, uncooked
→ Miso Blend
03 -
1.5 tbsp butter
04 -
1 tbsp miso
05 -
2 tsp sake
06 -
2 tsp sugar
07 -
2 tsp mirin
08 -
1 tsp sesame seeds

1 tsp minced chives
→ Soy Sauce Mix
10 -
1.5 tbsp unsalted butter
11 -
1.5 tbsp bagel mix seasoning
12 -
1.5 tbsp vegetable oil
13 -
1 tbsp soy sauce
# Instructions:
01 -
Use your rice cooker and follow its instructions to cook the rice properly.
02 -
Stir together miso, sake, mirin, sugar, and make sure the mix is smooth.
03 -
While the rice is still warm, split it into six portions. Use cling film to help shape each portion into a triangle.
04 -
Warm your pan over medium and melt butter. Cook each rice ball for 1 minute per side, then coat with miso blend. Keep grilling until golden and crispy. Add sesame seeds and chives for extra flavor.
05 -
In a hot pan with oil over medium heat, grill rice balls for a minute on each side. Brush soy sauce generously as you flip them multiple times. Add butter on top and sprinkle with bagel seasoning before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Working with warm rice makes shaping much easier.
02 -
Make sure the rice balls are firm enough so they stay intact during cooking.
03 -
Keep an eye on miso grilling since the sugar can burn quickly.
