Before you jump to Onigiri recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Use Food to Elevate Your Mood.

Most of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we should keep away from them. Often, if the comfort food is candy or another junk food, this is true. At times, comfort foods can be perfectly nutritious and good for us to eat. There are some foods that really can improve your moods when you consume them. When you are feeling a little down and need an emotional pick-me-up, try a few of these.

Build a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all good for raising your mood. This is because these foods are rich in magnesium, which helps to raise your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical that tells your brain how you feel day in and day out. The higher your levels of serotonin, the happier you are going to feel. Not just that but nuts, in particular, are a terrific source of protein.

Now you can see that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try these suggestions instead!

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to onigiri recipe. To cook onigiri you only need 7 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you do it.

The ingredients needed to cook Onigiri:
  1. Prepare 2 c short grain rice
  2. Take 2 1/2 c water
  3. Get 1/8 tsp sea salt
  4. Provide 1 tsp olive oil
  5. Use 4 tbsp onigiri rice topping (Gohan no mazete 6 shoku no yasai)
  6. Provide Water
  7. Prepare Salt
Instructions to make Onigiri:
  1. Wash the rice in a fine holed colander in cold water. In a rice cooker or instant pot, place the rice and the water. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  2. Add 1/8 tsp salt and olive oil. Cook on high pressure in instant pot for 14 minutes on the rice setting. Turn off instant pot and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Toast nori in a toaster oven briefly to warm up and release flavor. Do not over cook! Cut nori in 1 inch strips with scissors (usually pre marked on the nori sheet)
  4. Release steam on the rice cooker. Remove 1/2 the rice and place in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp rice topping seasoning and mix well until distributed through out rice.
  5. Get ready to form rice balls by placing a bowl with cool water and a bowl with salt in your work area.
  6. Moisten your hand with water then lightly press your fingers in the salt. Rub salt and water through out your fingers and palms. Form rice balls into ovals about 3 tbsp-1/4 c at a time. Wrap with nori strips, rough side against the rice. Shiney side out.
  7. Continue until all rice is formed into balls.
  8. Save the other 1/2 of rice to make another batch at another time with rice topping and nori strips as previously.
  9. NOTES: The rice topping I used was from an Asian grocery store. Many have artificial flavors and additives. This one has shiso and vegetables. Not a lot of additives. The colors are very pretty and make for a tasty and nice looking onigiri.
  10. NOTES: You can shape the onigiri in the traditional triangular or flat mound shape if you wish. Sites that I have visited on onigiri recommend wrapping the container in a thick towel if refrigerating for lunch the next day as to not let the rice get to cold and harden. To make a batch with the leftover rice, I steam in the instant pot with 1-2 tbsp of water for 3 minutes.
