Frozen-Onigiri(Riceball)

Directions ( 40 minutes)

1. Make a riceball with warm rice. You may put a pickled plum inside, sprinkle salt. Do not wrap with seaweeds.
2. Wrap with saran-wrap and freeze them.
3. Defrost in room temperature for 1-2hours.
4. Microwave it at 70% power. (Time is different depending on the size of riceball. Please try 1 to 2minutes first.
5. After it is reheated in microwave, then wrap with seaweeds.

Tips: Use left-over rice. If you cannot defrost in room temperature, defrost in microwave first. (If you microwave at high, the rice will get harder outside.) This is very convenient for lunch. Simply take the frozen riceballs out from the freezer, they will be defrosted by the lunch time. Wrap seaweed when eat, it tastes much better with fresh-crisp seaweed.
