onigiri

[coraa]

I'm thinking that it'd be nice to pack a lunch and go eat at the lake tomorrow, so I'm thinking of making onigiri (rice balls). They're pretty easy, quick, a good use of random filling ingredients, transportable, and a bit more interesting than sandwiches (which we love, but eat at least a couple of times a week).

For fillings, I was thinking:

* fish, either tuna or smoked salmon
* ume (pickled plum)
* pickled ginger
* leftover konbu-mushroom relish
* bonito flakes, wakame and soy sauce

What's your favorite onigiri filling? Or, if you're not familiar with onigiri, what would you put in a rice ball?

When I was in Korea my favourite triangle-kimbap flavour was kimchi-tuna. (Ingredients in rice in laver, shaped in a triangle and sold in a convenience store in a plastic wrapper cunningly designed to keep the rice and laver separate until you opened it.)

Kimchi! I hadn't thought of that, but I bet it's delicious in a rice ball, and I have some in the fridge....
