When I was a child, my grandmother used to make this onigiri with her big hands. She used to spread out shredded nori on top of newspaper and roll the onigiri around... This is my favorite onigiri with lots of memories. Because you use shredded nori, the nori won't break apart, thus making it easier to eat. It's safe for your children that way.Use your favorite fillings. Adjust the size to your liking. It's easier to coat with nori if it's very round, but you can also adjust that too. If you work on plastic wrap, it will get all sticky, so use parchment paper. For 2 servings. Recipe by Mikki-an

By the way, we call canned meat like Spam "pork" in Okinawa.You can buy a "Hormel Spam Musubi Maker" online on sites like Amazon, though these were of course made as onigiri rice balls originally. There's a version that uses an oil miso paste called "Andansu" too. Makes 2 rolls which are cut into 4 onigiri in total. (Recipe by Harmony Forest)

My family loves the combination of shiso and cheese.Please adjust the amount of ingredients to your liking. I approximated the amount of rice by 4 breakfast servings (2 rice balls each). If you're halving the recipe, toss the whole package of bonito flakes, because it tastes delicious when there's lots. You can add edamame to make it colorful. Recipe by miyuki12
