Main Ingredients- 1 Butter Soy-Marinated Onigiri (Korean rice ball)
- 1 Tuna Mayo Onigiri (or 2 onigiri of your choice)
- 190ml Fresh Milk
- 1 Slice of Cheese
Seasoning- 1 Pinch of Salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Pinch of Salt (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Feel free to choose any two onigiri from the convenience store that appeal to you; we’re using a Butter Soy-Marinated and a Tuna Mayo for this recipe. Also, have your 190ml of fresh milk and one slice of cheese ready.
Step 2
Carefully separate the seaweed wrapper from the rice of each onigiri. The seaweed will be used as a garnish later, so set it aside.
Step 3
In a bowl or a small saucepan, place the rice from both onigiri. Pour the 190ml of milk over the rice. The milk will help to create a creamy base.
Step 4
Using a fork or a spatula, gently mash the rice into the milk. Continue mashing until the rice grains break down and start to form a smooth, creamy consistency, similar to risotto. Breaking down the rice thoroughly is key to achieving that luxurious texture.
Step 5
Onigiri already have seasoning, but the milk can dilute the flavor. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the taste. It’s best to start with a small amount and add more after tasting, if needed.
Step 6
Once the rice and milk mixture is smooth and well combined, add the slice of cheese. Stir gently until the cheese is fully melted, adding richness and a deeper creamy flavor to your risotto.
Step 7
Finely chop the reserved seaweed wrappers and sprinkle them over the top of your creamy risotto as a garnish. Congratulations, you’ve just made a delicious and sophisticated onigiri cream risotto! Enjoy this delightful, convenient meal.
