Rach: Normal rice is not as stick as Japanese short grain rice. So you may have problem to hold all the ingredients together. Well, no harm to give it a try.

hihi
my 2 and a half yr old son has recently began to reject eating his usual porridge and so I made him onigiri with salmon, spinach and egg and he wolfed down 2 in 1 go. =) thanks for sharing =D

Evelyn: Thanks a lot for your kind feedback. Glad to know that your son likes it. If you want to enhance the taste, try the following suggestions:
a) dip it with either mayonaise or wasabi.
b) sprinkle some salt onto the rice
c) cook your rice with dashi (stock) and salt
d) add more ingredients in the rice balls such as sweetcorns, green peas, seaweed powder, sesame seeds. Lately I added some preserved Japanese sardines (which I bought in the Japanese food fair) to the rice ball, it tasted great.
Hope it helps.

I juz made the onigiri today but w/o moulds. My 2yr old son tot it is sushi and ‘burp’ after finished. Honetly, for adult consumption it would be quite bland. I dipped it with soya sauce for taste.

Kat: Yeah, it’s great to make for picnic. This recipe is adapted from a cookbook. I guess the author wanted to add some flavour to the cucumber. Hence she “marinated” it with salt.
