TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: Nikumaki Onigiri is a rice ball beautifully wrapped with thinly sliced Beef in sweet Soy Sauce.
It's called Onigiri rather than involtini, because in the Japanese cusine Onigiri is White Rice wrapped in Roasted Seaweeds.
Nikumaki literally means 'wrapped in meat'. Nikumaki has appeared in Japan towards the end of the 1990's in the city of Miyazaki in Kyushu, the southern largest island of Japan. But today, you can find Nikumaki, or some sort of meat onigiri or maki, virtually everywhere.
Nikumaki is a great meal for everyone and it can be eaten at any time, on weekends or during the week.

November 11, 2021 This was very delicious. I made the rice balls a little bigger I think because while I was cooking them they broke. I tried to make them again, this time a little smaller, and they came out just fine. |
