I guess I'm in an ethnic food mood today!
Recently I bought a bento box and have been getting creative with it, putting in little fancy foods and things for my lunch (yeah, maybe I have too much time on my hands!). I don't get as wild and imaginative as some Japanese moms who cut lil' smokies into the shape of tulips and penguins and stencil designs on rice (WOW!)...
But I do love to make onigiris (usually triangle-shaped rice balls). They're a common comfort food, right?
Here's a link: http://www.geocities.com/tpkamsin/fbonigiri/onigiri.html
Usually I make them plain or put in some furikake seasoning, but I'd love to learn about some tasty filings for them. Any ideas for fillings?
