    In a dry frying pan over medium-low heat, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant. Take care not to overheat them.

    Chop the seaweed and parsley finely. Mix the seaweed, parsley, and sesame seeds into the rice with care.

    Wet your hands and form four balls of seasoned rice. Form the rice into large triangles with your fingers at an angle and press well.

    Brush 1 tablespoon Japanese-style barbecue sauce over each onigiri and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, or until crispy.
    RECIPE NOTES
