Method
Start by preparing the rice
As this recipe uses a small amount of rice we usually make a larger batch and freeze what is not used. which can then be defrosted in a microwave for 2-4 minutes depending on weight, and used again to make this recipe and many others from ichi-go food.
- Add the 600g of short grain sushi rice to a bowl and rinse thoroughly 3- 5 times with cold water.
- Place the rice in to a pot and cover with 400ml of cold water, then allow to sit for 30 minutes.
- Place the pan on to the hob cover with a lid, and set to a medium heat For 10 minutes. Then bring that to a low heat for another 10 minutes, then no heat for a further 10 minutes. *Try to use a lid with a good seal and do not remove until the end of the cooking process.* In this time we can prepare the other fillings.
- **if you have a rice cooker then please follow the instructions on making sticky rice
Once rice is prepared or defrosted
- Drain the oil or water from the tuna and place into a mixing bowl.
- More than usual Finely chop the spring onions then add to the bowl.
- Add the rice and the peas in to the bowl and mix thoroughly. Avoid pressing the rice in to the bowl as it will go too hard.
- Place in to the microwave and heat for 1m 30s
- shape the rice into triangles or balls
