Ingredients: 1 cup rice; 4 cloves; 3 cardamom pods; 2 centimeters long cinnamon stick; 2 cloves garlic; 2 shallots; 0.5 tablespoon olive oil; 0.5 rind of mandarin orange; 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder; 100 milliliters mandarin orange juice; 1 cup water; 1.5 tablespoons golden raisin; 1.5 tablespoons almond flakes; 0.5 tablespoon spring onion

This recipe takes onigiri in a warm, aromatic direction, infusing rice with mandarin orange juice and rind, plus a blend of spices like cloves, cinnamon, and cardamom. It's a fragrant rice dish that gets shaped into individual portions. You'll sauté the aromatics first to build a base of flavor before cooking the rice with the orange juice. Finish it with golden raisins, toasted almonds, and a sprinkle of fresh spring onion for texture and brightness.
