How to Make Chicken Peanut Sauce Onigiri
A healthy and satisfying meal! Make delicious chicken peanut sauce onigiri at home, perfect even when you’re dieting. The chewy chicken and savory peanut sauce create a fantastic harmony with the rice.
Main Ingredients- 80g chicken tenderloin (use tender and lean chicken breast parts)
- 1.5 bowls of multigrain rice (rice with various grains like brown rice, barley, etc., is even better)
- 1/2 sheet of seaweed (shapes the onigiri and adds flavor)
Savory Peanut Sauce- 2 Tbsp peanut butter (creamy peanut butter pairs well)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (adjust saltiness to your preference)
- 1 Tbsp honey (adds sweetness and softens the sauce’s taste)
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter (creamy peanut butter pairs well)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce (adjust saltiness to your preference)
- 1 Tbsp honey (adds sweetness and softens the sauce’s taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and prepare the chicken tenderloin. In a pot, add plenty of water and boil the chicken tenderloin. Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it, let it cool slightly, then shred it finely using a fork or your hands. Shredding it like this helps it mix well with the sauce.
Step 2
Add the peanut butter for a savory flavor, honey for sweetness, and soy sauce for umami to the shredded chicken. Use a spoon or spatula to mix everything thoroughly until well combined. Ensure the sauce coats every piece of chicken evenly.
Step 3
Prepare your onigiri mold. Lining the mold with plastic wrap at the bottom makes it easier to shape later. Create a slight indentation in the center of the mold, then generously fill it with the prepared chicken and peanut sauce mixture. Cover this with multigrain rice and press firmly to compact the rice into the mold’s shape.
Step 4
Cut the seaweed into long strips that fit the onigiri shape. You can trim the corners slightly according to your preference. Carefully wrap the cut seaweed around the rice to complete your delicious chicken peanut sauce onigiri! It’s simple to make and perfect for a busy breakfast or as a lunchbox item.
