Onigiri

Simple addition to work lunch and an easy grab n' go snack. There are limitless options as far as fillings go. A personal favourite is smoked/salt cured salmon with wasabi mayo, though the version I made is with Japanese style omelettes rolled and sliced then stuffed inside the rice ball.

Having a wet cloth or bowl of water helps for the balls. the rice is much less likely to stick to your fingers if they are wet.  Grab a large spoonful of the still warm rice and form a patty in your palm, place your filling in the centre and the wrap the rice around to form a ball.  Simple.
