Onigiri

Summer to-do list task #6: make sushi / rice ball. half check. Only half check because I didn’t make sushi.

I’ve been meaning on making some onigiris (rice ball) for the past week, but I’ve been lazy. Since I didn’t have anything planned today, I decided to make some today.

Its relatively easy to make these rice balls. The only tricky part is the molding/rolling process. Consistency within the whole rice ball - meaning, the topping (tuna) is evenly spread inside – is pretty hard to do. Maybe with more practice I can roll them better, but I don’t see myself doing this often. Its essentially rice and tuna and seaweed rolled in to a ball, so why go through all the effort of rolling/molding? hehehe… But I must admit though, it was pretty fun making these rice balls. You get to play and decorate your food =)

My rice balls sucked though… the first bite was always rice without any toppings.
