Overview[edit | edit source]

Keto Onigiri is a low-carb version of the traditional Japanese rice ball snack. Instead of using regular rice, this version uses cauliflower rice to keep the carb count low.

Ingredients[edit | edit source]

  • 2 cups cauliflower rice, cooked
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Nori sheets (seaweed)
  • Fillings of choice (examples include keto-friendly tuna salad, cooked salmon, pickled vegetables)

Preparation[edit | edit source]

  • 1. In a bowl, mix the cooked cauliflower rice with sesame oil and salt until well combined.
  • 2. Lay out a nori sheet on a clean surface. Place a few spoonfuls of the cauliflower rice mixture in the center.
  • 3. Add your chosen filling on top of the cauliflower rice.
  • 4. Fold the nori sheet around the cauliflower rice and filling, pressing firmly to form a triangular shape. If desired, you can use a mold to help shape the onigiri.
  • 5. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately or store in a cool place for later consumption.

Serving Suggestions[edit | edit source]

  • Enjoy with some keto-friendly soy sauce or keto salsa for dipping.
  • Pair with a warm bowl of miso soup or a side of pickled vegetables.
