Unlike sushi, onigiri is pretty easy to make and required less skill. It's ideal for lunch boxes and picnic outing. Below is a simple recipe for sharing:

Japanese rice is japonica and calrose is one type of medium-quality japonica grown in California.

I made something like that too for my ds. I added brown rice. The colour turned out to be brownish-reddish white. Wanted my ds to hv a healthy snack.

Sometimes I also prepare this for my child's meal. This portion here is for lunch. Smaller portions will be prepared for recess.
