A creamy and spicy take on a classic onigiri recipe, this one adds levels of flavor and texture through ingredients like sriracha mayo and avocado!

 

Onigiri are a great and tasty snack to make at home, and you can even pack a couple for a quick lunch or picnic on the go! This version ups the flavors with tangy cream cheese, crisp red onion, and spicy Lee Kum Kee Sriracha Mayo. Avocado adds extra richness as well, and pairs great with the spicy canned tuna and the aromatic umami punch of Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce.

How to make it

  1. Rinse the sushi rice until the water is mostly clear. Cook with 3 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook on low heat for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and let it rest for 10 minutes. Mix in sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and chili flakes. Let the rice cool slightly so it’s warm but not too hot.

  2. In a bowl mix together:

    Mix until creamy.

  3. Wet your hands with water. Put about ½ cup rice in your hand. Flatten it slightly. Add 1–2 tbsp filling in the center. Cover with a little more rice. Press and shape into a triangle using your palms and fingers.

  4. Cut nori sheets in half. Wrap the bottom of the triangle with the nori sheet. Serve and enjoy!
