Japanese rice is very healthy and tasty. You don't need too many condiments to eat it. It is a healthy fast food alternative for kids. I usually make different types of Omusubi for my kids lunch box or for snack at home.

Wash the rice 3-4 times untill water runs clear. drain water and let it sit for 30 min. Cook it using rice cooker for japanese rice setting.
2

While the rice is cooking clean fish, marinate with salt and pepper.

When the rice is cooked take it out in a flat box, lightly separate the rice and sprinkle salt and sesame seeds. Sesame seeds give a bit of crunch and nutty flavor to Omusubi. You can skip sesame seeds if you don't like it. Gently mix the rice. Cover with wet paper towel or cloth, keep aside.

Pan fry the fish in butter. Keep the fish soft do not fry it for long.

Japanese rice is very sticky to shape it into a triangular or ball shape, wet your hands with water. Take handful of rice mix and shape it. You can even shape it using cling film / Saran wrap.
