GRILLED RICE BALLS

MAKES ABOUT 8



Special Equipment
  • A gas or charcoal grill (grates lightly rubbed with vegetable oil), or a flameproof rack
  • A food-safe brush
  • 4 cups freshly made short-grain white rice
  • Kosher salt
  • ¼ cup Japanese soy sauce
  • ¼ cup mirin (sweet rice wine)

Let the rice cool slightly, so you can handle it without burning your fingers. Form the onigiri as instructed on making sure to pack the triangles especially firmly. Do not wrap with nori. Let them cool completely. You can wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to a day.
When you’re ready to eat, prepare the grill to cook over medium-high heat. (If you’re using the flameproof rack, set it on a burner and turn the heat to medium.)
Stir together the soy sauce and mirin in a small bowl. Put the rice triangles on their sides directly on the grill or rack. Cook until the undersides are dry and slightly crispy with spots of brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully flip them, brush the tops and sides with the soy sauce mixture, and cook, flipping and brushing every few minutes, until both sides have formed a crunchy crust and are golden brown with dark brown spots, about 8 minutes more. Serve right away.
