Mr. Graham loves to make and eat onigiri.
Onigiri is a rice ball. It is very popular in Japan.

Use
sushi rice for making your rice ball. The rice is the sticky type. Make
the ball when the rice is still hot and will stick together well. |

Get
your hands wet with some salty water so the rice will not stick to your
hands too much. Put some rice in your hand and then add filling. I am
using canned tunna fish here. I recommend water packed tuna rather than
oil packed as the oil will make the rice not want to stick. |

Put more rice over filling and pat into a ball. |

The traditional Japanees shape is a triangle with rounded edges. Very nice shape to look at. |

You can add strips of nori (seaweed) if you like or toasted seasme seeds.
It is a very good thing to eat for lunch. I am happy all morning if I have some onigiri in my lunch bag.
