These vegan onigiri are a delightful twist on the traditional Japanese rice balls. They are filled with nutritious edamame, creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and seasoned with sesame seeds, wrapped in nori seaweed for a satisfying snack or meal.
Ingredients: 2 cups sushi rice. 4 nori seaweed sheets. 1 cup cooked edamame. 1 avocado, sliced. 1 cucumber, julienned. 1 tbsp sesame seeds. 2 tbsp rice vinegar. 2 tsp sugar. 1 tsp salt.
Instructions: Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once rice is cooked, let it cool slightly. Then, gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Divide rice into 8 portions. Take one portion of rice and flatten it on your palm. Place a small amount of cooked edamame, avocado slices, cucumber, and sesame seeds in the center. Carefully shape the rice into a triangle, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Wrap each onigiri with a strip of nori seaweed. Repeat with remaining rice and filling ingredients. Serve immediately or pack for later.
