Directions

To Make

1. Rinse rice until water runs clear and add salt and water to soak for 30 minutes. Cook in a rice cooker or stove. For stove top cooking, bring rice to a boil over high heat. Once bubbling, reduce to low heat and cook for 13 minutes. Fluff the rice once cooked and let it cool.
2. While rice is cooking, mix dashi, sake, mirin, light soy sauce and sugar together. Pour into the frying pan and arrange sliced onion and beef on top. Heat up over medium heat.
3. Stir gently until beef is cooked and sauce slightly thickens. Add in spring onion and cook briefly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
4. Use an onigiri mould and fill with a layer of rice, making a small well in the centre.
5. Fill with beef gyudon then cover with more rice. Press onigiri mould over rice to shape and compact it.
6. Unmould and roll onigiri sides onto toasted sesame seeds and wrap a strip of nori around the base.
