Show Notes
Renowned Chef Connaughton prepares onigiri, a Japanese snack of white rice formed into triangles and wrapped in nori. He prepares the rice in a Japanese clay pot known as a donabe, adding roasted and chopped negi onions, and red and yellow pepper varieties from their farm. He seasons this with a Japanese seven-spice powder, including toasted sesame seeds and togarashi chili powder. To finish, he adds a powdered nori that’s been dried for an umami seaweed flavor. The onigiri are given to guests at the inn when they arrive as a gesture of hospitality.
