These rice balls are the Japanese equivalent of a sandwich. Perfect for picnics, packed lunches or a day out. The rice usually has a small filling, is formed into a triangle shape and wrapped in nori. Here instead of a filling, the flaked salmon is mixed right through the rice and the onigiri are finished with a strip of nori and a sprinkle of sesame seeds, aonori flakes or yukari (red shiso furikake).
