Ingredients
- 1 cup short-grain rice
- pinch salt

New ingredient?
- Nori / gim (roasted seaweed): Thin dried seaweed sheets used to wrap rice. Japanese nori is plain; Korean gim is often brushed with oil and salt. Where to buy
- Short-grain (sushi) rice: Slightly sticky rice that holds its shape, so it's ideal for onigiri and gimbap. Calrose rice works well too. Where to buy
Method
- Shape a round onigiri and two tiny balls for ears.
- Snip nori eyes and nose with kitchen scissors.
- Press features on just before packing.
