Yaki Onigiri (Fried Sushi Rice) with Red Chili Mango Sauce

Yaki Onigiri is a sushi rice ball, or cube, or patty... whatever you prefer, that is lightly crisped

to make the outside crunchy and the inside soft.  Delicious!

• 1 1/2 cups sushi rice
• 1 mango diced
• 1/2 lime
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Directions:

1.) Combine water and rice in a medium pot and boil.  Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes.

2.) Remove rice from heat, fluff with a fork and let cool for 10 minutes.

3.) Use a cookie cutter or your hands to form whatever shape you prefer.

4.) Heat oil over medium high heat and cook each side of the rice ball until browned.

5.) Lightly brush with soy sauce and cook each side again.
