Yakiniku Onigirazu (Japanese Barbeque Rice Sandwiches)


Some say that the Onigirazu is a rice ball. Others say that it's defintinely a sandwich. Either way, we are huge fans of Onigirazu. I mean how could you not like them? They are easy to make and is so easy to take with you for eating on the go. Take them on your next picnic and everyone will love you for making them.

Today, we decided to fill these rice sandwiches with one of Satoshi's favorite dish, YAKINIKU! In fact the yakiniku sauce is so delicious, you can just eat the meat with a hot bowl of rice. Of course if that's what you prefer. It's all up to you. The recipe includes links to Amazon, where you can purchase these ingredients online. 


INGREDIENTS: (makes 1)


1/2 clove garlic, grated
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp honey
vegetable oil
1 thick slice onion
3 slices thinly-sliced beef (ribeye or tenderloin)
kimchi (optional)
lettuce leaves
3/4 cup cooked Japanese rice

DIRECTIONS


First, grate the garlic and ginger and place in a bowl. Add in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil and honey and mix well. Set aside. Next, add oil to a frying pan and turn on the heat. Cook the onion on both sides and set aside for now. Cook the beef on both sides being careful not to overcook. Return the onion slice to the frying pan. Pour the sauce over the meat and onion. Flip over and cook for another 30 seconds. 

Place a sheet of plastic wrap onto your work surface. Then place a sheet of nori on top. Put half the cooked rice onto the center of the nori, followed by onion, lettuce leaves, beef slices and kimchi if you desire. Top it off with the rest of the cooked rice. Carefully fold the corners of the nori towards the center. Do the same with the plastic wrap and wrap tightly. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes before cutting it in half. Don't forget to take off the plastic before eating. Enjoy!
