Onigiri!

Today Logan and I made Onigiri, or rice balls! I had them for the first time at one of Andrew's class parties, a mother had brought them in for a class treat. For this variety, you make the rice, add some seasoning and then place a small amount of rice mixture in a square piece of saran wrap. With you hands, then mold into a ball.

They are tasty and come in lots and lots of different flavorings and fillings. The one I chose to make was a sprinkling of sesame seeds, salt, sugar and sea weed.

YUM! Though, I may be the only one in this household to come to that conclusion!

So need a cooking class on this!! Can we do it without Sesame Seeds though! I don't dare try them out in town because I am allergic to Sesame Seeds and don't feel like going tot he hospital over a rice ball!
