Hello Kitty egg! Where did you find an egg shaper??

You can make onigiri with any steamed rice...? is microwave-steamed different somehow? I usually mix together some sugar and rice vinegar, a dash of salt, then mix the rice thoroughly. Shape with your hands or molds, then wrap in nori.

Microwave rice tends to be a lot looser and not as gummy. Your suggestion of adding sugar will help.

I havent tried yet so I dont know! is onigiri rice with more water, or stickier than normal? or do I just make the rice normally, and then add the sugar/vinegar?
