Onigiri with Beef Shigureni Recipe

If you are tired of Katsuobushi (bonito flakes) or Umeboshi (pickled plum) Onigiri rice ball, try this one with a little twist. Beef Shigureni is seasoned strongly with soy sauce, sugar, and ginger, and goes very well with rice, therefore, it is perfect as an Onigiri filling!

You don’t know how to make Onigiri? Watch our Onigiri video for more detailed instructions. I used brown rice here, but you can certainly use regular white rice. Great snack or light lunch!
