Onigiri...or Japanese Rice Balls

As you can see from my posts, I've been on a Japanese kick lately. When I first encountered these delectable little all-in-one meals, I was ecstatic to discover how many variations there were. My favorite is White Miso glazed and also the Nori soaked in shoyu then wrapped around the ball. Though, "ball" is sortof misleading, as they're really more of a flattish triangle or hockey puck shape.

The strangest one I've come across is mayonaisse and american cheese broiled on top. YUCK! And the traditional pickled plum, or umeboshi, in the center is not a favorite at all.

Anyone here have some interesting one's to share with me?

    1) Furikake!!!

    Make your rice, either mix in a little rice wine vinegar or mirin wine or just a bit of salt.

    Make your onigiri roll, triangle, what have you.

    Roll in furikake of your choice. Or you can just mix the furikake in the rice and the shape.

    Furikake is a sprinkle of a variety of flavors, seseme seeds, bonito flakes, nori, and other flavors. Yummy!!

    2) You can also dice spam, and fry it with no added oils. mix it in your rice before forming the shapes or by placing it in the center like Umeboshi.
