Free form onigiri. This is perfect for people who have a hard time making rice balls. Onigirazu has the same great taste, without the fear of imperfection.</p><p>This recipe is perfect when you don't have the right type of rice available for onigiri. You can use just about any type, we tested it out a few different kinds. The seaweed wrapping will keep it together, yhus eliminating the need for sticky rice.</p><p>We seasoned the rice with miso for added flavor, and filled it with carrot kinpira—'kinpira' means "sauteed" (usually with a mixture of mirin soy sauce and chili peppers.) It's a sweet and spicy dish that the Japanese serve in bentos.</p><p><img src='../media/recipes/carrot_kinpira_onigirazu_2.jpg'/></p></div><dl class='ingredients'><h3>kinpira carrot</h3><dt><a href='carrots.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/carrots.png'/><b>carrots</b></a><u>2</u></dt><dt><a href='maple_syrup.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/maple_syrup.png'/><b>maple syrup</b></a><u>10 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='mirin.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/mirin.png'/><b>mirin</b></a><u>10 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='soy_sauce.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/soy_sauce.png'/><b>soy sauce</b></a><u>30 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='sesame_oil.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/sesame_oil.png'/><b>sesame oil</b></a><u>15 ml</u></dt><dt><a href='chili_pepper_flakes.html'><img src='../media/ingredients/chili_pepper_flakes.png'/><b>chili pepper flakes</b></a><u>5 g</u></dt></dl><ul class='instructions'><li>Peel and cut <i>2 large</i> <a href='carrot.html'>carrot</a> into thin strips using a julienne peeler (a knife will do, but it will take longer).</li><li>Stir these ingredients together to make the sauce for the kinpira: <i>10 ml (2 tsp)</i> of <a href='maple_syrup.html'>maple syrup</a>, <i>10 ml (2 tsp)</i> of <a href='mirin.html'>mirin</a> and <i>30 ml (2 tbsp)</i> of <a href='soy_sauce.html'>soy sauce</a>.</li><li>Heat <u>15 ml (1 tbsp)</u> of <a href='sesame_oil.html'>sesame oil</a> in a pan at medium heat, add the carrot strips and cook for <u>2-3 minutes</u>.
