8 steps

What you need

  • 360 g (2 cups) cooked short-grain rice, freshly cooked and still warm

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Stir the soy sauce and mirin together in a small bowl.

  2. 2

    Divide the warm rice into 4 equal portions. Wet your hands with water and rub a little salt over your palms.

  3. 3

    Pack one portion of rice into a firm triangle, pressing 3-4 times with cupped hands. The rice must hold together with no loose grains. Repeat with the rest.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Add the rice triangles and cook without moving them until the underside is golden and crisp, 3-4 min.

  6. 6

    Turn gently with a thin spatula and cook the second side the same way, then toast each edge for about 30 seconds.

  7. 7

    Lower the heat. Brush the glaze over the top and sides, cook until it sizzles and smells toasty, 20-30 seconds, then turn and glaze the other side the same way. Take care not to scorch the glaze.

  8. 8

    Wrap a strip of nori around each triangle and serve warm.
