Description
- To begin, cook the sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer it to a container and allow it to cool to room temperature for the perfect consistency.
- Lay a sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface. After that, place a sheet of nori seaweed on top of the foil. Next, lightly moisten a sheet of rice paper and place it on the nori seaweed to create a base for your sushi.
- Spread a layer of sushi rice onto the nori seaweed, leaving some space at the top and bottom edges for folding the Onigirazu.
- Place your choice of protein in the center of the rice, followed by the vegetables you wish to add, and the finely chopped habanero pepper.
- Fold the top and bottom edges of the nori seaweed over the filling to cover it.
- Then, fold the left and right edges of the nori seaweed towards the center, creating a square or rectangle.
- Wrap the Onigirazu in aluminum foil or a lettuce leaf if desired, to maintain its shape.
- Repeat the process for the second Onigirazu.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each Onigirazu in half diagonally to obtain two triangles.
- Serve your Onigirazu triangles with soy sauce and chipotle dressing, and enjoy.
