There's not a lunch box, birthday party, or afternoon snack that isn't made more delicious and fun with onigiri! These bite-size balls of rice can be made with favorite and nutritious ingredients, and are easily shaped and decorated to make animals, flowers, and more. This book features more than 30 recipes including:
Grilled Onigiri with Soy Sauce
Sweet Potato and Black Sesame Onigiri
Bacon and Scrambled Egg Onigiri
Curried Fried Rice Onigiri
Rice Craft also includes master recipes for cooking white and brown rice, plus extras to round out the meal: a miso soup to float the rice balls in, perfect soft eggs to wrap in rice, and pickled ginger to serve on the side. More than 20 color photographs inspire new creations and teach kids and adults alike to make these creative treats.
