Instructions

1. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tsp cooking oil and the 100 g ground chicken, and fry until browned.
2. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, ½ tbsp mirin, 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp sake to the pan and fry together. Remove from the heat once the liquid has fully absorbed.
3. Put the 600 g cooked short-grain rice and the seasoned chicken in a large bowl and mix thoroughly. Divide into equal portions so all the rice balls are the same size.
4. Shape the rice in an onigiri mold, or by hand.
5. Wrap each rice ball with nori. Eat straight away, or pack in a lunch box with an ice pack.
