Onigiri With Lots of Grilled Salted Mackerel - Recipe Video

A simple and easy to understand recipe video shows how to make Onigiri With Lots of Grilled Salted Mackerel .
Here we grilled the salted mackerel, loosened it and mixed it with rice and made it into a Japanese rice ball (onigiri). The aroma of black roasted sesame seeds and sesame oil added together will whet your appetite. We recommend this dish to those who don't like fish as well, since they have a mild flavor. It is perfect for breakfast or as a late night snack when you are hungry. You should definitely give it a try!
