Jack O'Lantern Onigiri

"These cute Japanese-inspired rice balls (onigiri) were a hit at a Halloween-themed potluck. Using turmeric and gochujang gives them a natural orange color with no food coloring. You can also decorate them in a different way for different holidays!"

Ingredients :

• 3 cups Japanese short-grain white rice
• 1/2 large cucumber with peel, cut into 1/2-inch rounds
• 1 sheet nori (dried seaweed), cut into strips
• 3 1/2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), or more to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions :

Prep : 30M	Cook : 30M	Ready in : 1H25M

• Pour rice into a large colander. Rinse under cold running water, stirring with your fingers, until water runs clear, about 5 minutes.
• Set colander over a large bowl. Leave rice to drain, about 20 minutes.
• Cut sides away from each cucumber round; discard seeded center. Cut sides into thin strips for the pumpkin 'stems'. Place cucumber strips in a bowl.
• Cut 1/2 the nori strips into triangles to make the 'eyes.' Cut remaining nori strips into jagged 'mouths.' Place eyes and mouths in separate bowls.
• Combine rice, 3 1/2 cups water, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low and cover; cook until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Turn off heat but keep pot on the burner. Let rice stand, covered, until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Remove rice from heat; stir in gochujang and turmeric until rice is uniformly orange. Cool rice until easily handled, about 10 minutes.
• Stir 1 cup warm water and salt together in a shallow bowl. Line a platter with plastic wrap.
• Scoop warm rice with a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop and drop onto the plastic wrap. Dip your hands in the warm salted water and roll rice into balls. Stick on 2 eyes and 1 mouth. Press 1 cucumber strip into the top. Transfer finished onigiri to another serving platter.

Notes :

• For a more substantial snack, fill rice balls with a cube of salmon, tuna, cucumber, or avocado if desired.
