“I have been fascinated by cooking since childhood, I enjoyed the process of preparation, hosting family and friends. I always try to prepare something new and interesting. I discovered Onigiri while living in Japan and it soon became my family’s favorite dish.
These are rice balls that are very popular in Japan, especially during lunch. It is delicious, very easy to prepare. Its filing depends only on your taste and imagination. My child loves this dish very much, always helps me in the preparation and often takes it at school as a snack”- Nini Kvirchishvili.

First prepare the rice - wash it in a running water until the water becomes transparent. Put the rice in 1 liter boiled water and simmer for 15 minutes in a covered saucepan.
We can prepare two types of Onigiri.
Onigiri with tuna - Drain tuna and place in a bowl, add soy sauce, wasabi, mayonnaise and mix well. Wet your hands with water, then with salt, place the rice on palm of your hands and add the filing, give it a triangular shape, press well so that the shape binds and does not fall apart.
You can cut nori sheets to the desired size. You can completely wrap the rice, or just fold it from the bottom. Season it with tobiko and it is ready.
For the second type of Onigiri filling, mix the chopped avocado and cream cheese.
Insert in the center of the rice and repeat the same action as in case of the first type. Dip in pre-roasted sesame seeds.
