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?

ume all the way!! god I <3 those things. also, making the rice with the zakkoku mai (mixed grains) and hijiki seaweed and then just making the onigiri with that (no filling) is pretty darn tasty imho.
