I actually made and tried the "portable rice balls that can be made without nigiri" sold by Onishi Foods! I bought it at the loft. The price is 220 yen per piece (excluding tax).
This is a product that allows you to make triangular rice balls without squeezing just by adding hot water or water. A 3-point cut method is used that allows you to make and eat without getting your hands dirty. Best-by date is 5 years (stored at room temperature). There are four flavors: salmon, wakame seaweed, gome okowa, and kelp. Alpha rice is 100% domestically produced rice.
The cooking method is easy. First, open the top, take out the oxygen scavenger, remove the seal on the surface of the bag, add water or hot water to the part indicated by the line, and close the zipper.
There is a lot of rice inside
After closing the zipper tightly, shake the bag to mix the contents well (about 20 times. Be careful of burns!) Then just wait. Wait 15 minutes for boiling water and 60 minutes for water (15 degrees).
When I try to eat wakame rice balls made with boiling water ..., oh! Wow! Plump and warm rice balls! You can enjoy the chewy texture of rice with almost no sloppy feeling that you were worried about. There are some parts where the softness is different, but it doesn't bother me.
Ingenuity that makes it easy to eat even when you cannot wash your hands 〇
The seasoning is also moderately salty and delicious. The quality is so high that you can't think it was made with hot water. I feel the progress of technology ....
The Gomoku Okowa made with water is a little dry compared to the one made with boiling water, but this is also not a concern. It's the same as rice balls at convenience stores. I'm glad that the wakame seaweed and the five-eyed okowa are well-filled.
Onigiri's "portable rice balls that can be made without squeezing" from Onishi Foods, which has a long expiration date and is a thin pouch type, so it is light and does not take up space. It is encouraging to enjoy the usual rice balls in the event of a disaster. How about adding it to a disaster prevention backpack?
