Orange Scented Onigiri
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.
