Nori Rice

This is just another way to add some flavoring to the white rice, if it is too plain for your tastes. It can be shaped into a ball to make Nori Rice Ball with or without filling.

Preparation: 5 mins Cooking time: 20 mins

Ingredients (serves 2)
° 200g rice, washed and drained
° 400ml water
° 1.5 tablespoons Japanese rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
° 1 teaspoon mirin or ½ teaspoon cooking rice wine
° 1 teaspoon sugar
° ½ teaspoon salt
° 1 nori sheet, toasted and finely shredded
° 2 teaspoons rice seasoning (optional)

Method
1. Add the rice and water into an electric rice cooker and turn it on.
2. When done, leave the cooked rice to rest, covered, for 5-10 minutes.
3. Pour on the combined vinegar, mirin, sugar and salt. Fluff with a fork, and fold in the shredded nori. Keep warm and serve hot.

Tip
1. Few kelps in knots can be added to cook the rice, if desired.
