Note on food allergies:
M is allergic to soy.

I had some sugar-free umeboshi (found at our local international store) that needed finishing up, so I made up some rice balls for hubby and me (and my mom). So not low-carb, but yummy.
There really isn’t much of a recipe.
Soy-Free Sugar-Free Yaki Onigiri
Ingredients
- short-grain Japanese rice
- pickled umeboshi plums chopped or left whole
- coconut aminos
Instructions
- Cook the rice. Not including instructions here, but if you need them, Yumiko over at RecipeTin Japan has the perfect recipe.
- Take however much rice you need when it's done and transfer to a bowl — let it cool for a bit, about five minutes.
- Moisten your hands with water and take a handful of rice, forming it into a ball. Make a well in the center of it and spoon some of the plum inside, or tuck in a whole one.
- Shape rice around the plum, forming a triangle or pyramid with rounded corners. Repeat however many balls you want to make.
- Grill rice triangles/pyramids in dry skillet or grill, turning them carefully to brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Brush with coconut aminos and grill a bit more to crisp the rice until golden brown.
