• 3 i made these the night before, and they kept their shape overnight and had a wonderful, soft texture when eaten cold the next day.
• 4 note 1: you can vary the flavours significantly by using different types of soy or rice milk, and bu changing the seasoning a little. i made these with vanilla soy milk and cinnamon, but you could use other flavours too.
• 5 note 2: if you do not have onigiri molds, you can use small plastic containers to shape the onigiri, or you can improvise a mold using a cookie cutter, in this fashion:.
• 6 place the cookie cutters on a plate. press the couscous into them as you would for a mold, packing the mixture very tightly. cover the plate with plastic wrap or with a dish cover. refrigerate as you would for a mold, and proceed as above.
