Meat Wrapped Teriyaki Onigiri
Ingredients: - ½ lb Pork Belly, thinly sliced - 2 cup Cooked Rice - 1 tsp Vegetable Oil - 5 Tbsp Sake - 5 Tbsp Soy sauce - 3 tsp Sugar - 2 Tbsp Mirin - 2 clove Garlic, minced - Sesame Seeds, for garnishing Instructions: 1. Using plastic wrap, shape the rice into a barrel-shape. Make sure to mold it tightly. 2 cup of cooked rice makes about 6 rice balls. 2.
