Grilled rice balls miso yaki onigiri.
I used a flat grill pan which came with the portable cook top I used in the mini movie below. However, you can use a frying pan, or make heaps of rice balls beforehand and grill them all on the BBQ. It will be a great crowd pleaser appetiser at your next weekend BBQ lunch!
If you have any trouble making the Onigiri shapes (they might be a little trickier than they seem if you aren't familiar with the technique), here's a little guide to help you, or you can check out the Onigiri post (with mini tutorial movie)!
