Onigiri Maker Mold & Paddle Set

1. Clean the Mold Before First Use: Before using the Onigiri Maker Mold for the first time, thoroughly wash it with warm soapy water and rinse well. This ensures that any residue from manufacturing or packaging is removed, keeping your food safe and clean. Make sure to dry the mold completely before use.
2. Prepare the Ingredients: Cook your preferred rice (Japanese short-grain or sushi rice works best) and let it cool slightly. Prepare your desired fillings, such as vegetables, seaweed, pickled plum, fish, or other flavorful ingredients. Mixing the rice with a pinch of salt or rice vinegar can enhance the flavor and help it stick together better.
3. Add Food to the Mold: Place the rice mixture evenly into each of the six compartments of the Onigiri Maker Mold. If you’re adding fillings, press a layer of rice into the compartment, add your filling in the center, and then cover it with more rice. Press the rice down gently to ensure the filling is properly enclosed.
4. Cover and Press: Place the lid on top of the mold and press down firmly to compact the rice. This step helps to shape the onigiri evenly, ensuring that the rice balls hold their form when released from the mold.
5. Remove and Serve: Open the lid and carefully flip the mold over. Gently press from the bottom of each compartment to release the rice balls onto a plate or tray. Arrange your beautifully shaped onigiri as desired, and enjoy!
