Onigiri ideas?

Question

Looking for ideas of Onigiri fillings and such for making hubby's bento. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I put tuna salad inside the balls.

Answer 2

1. Teriyaki Chicken

2. Tuna Salad or fried Tuna fried in little soy sauce.

3. Salmon or salmon fried in a little soy sauce

4. Teri Beef

5. Hot Dog or any of your favorite cooked Sausage

6. Any cooked meats or seafood

7. Vegetable (any pickled Japanese Vegetable)

8. Fried Egg or Omelette

9. Think of a Maki Sushi Roll whatever is in there you can put in your Onigiri as filling.

10. Any thing you want that you normally would eat with rice but chop that main dish small & stuff it in the rice ball.

11. Try rolling the rice ball in Furikake (Rice Seasonings) too, theres plenty of types of rice seasonings you can use. you also can mix it in your rice before making it into a ball.

Live & work around several delicatisen/ store/market where bentos, sushis, onigiris are plenty & sells alot various types & styles.

Answer 3

Teriyaki chicken in the middle is good, and some people use fish or chicken. If you want, you can also put a strip of nori on your onigiri so it will be easier to hold.
