"These are so yummy! I haven't tried the miso one (yet! But once I get my paws on some miso paste. . .), but the soy sauce ones are fantastic.

You can also make a bunch of these and freeze..."

Ingredients: miso, cooked short-grain rice...

"basic onigiri (riceball) recipe. Add any filling you want I particularly like Egg scrambled with some soy sauce (dark) and toasted (brush with a little miso mixed with sake and grill)

Ingredients: nori, short-grain rice, water...

"For Halloween bento boxes! This is a lunchbox friendly recipe, quick to put together. Prep time does not include cooking of rice, as you can prepare the rice the night before, or use leftover rice. I like cooking my rice fresh in my rice cooker while I fix the rest of the lunches. These would also make good non-sweet treats for a Halloween party...."

Ingredients: cooking spray, eggs...

"Japanese rice balls for the dorm room life style. Not for a low sodium diet. I made these one night at about 2 in the morning, and I had only these things on hand. Turned out good enough to share! I hope others make variations and share them back with me!"

Ingredients: warm water, mirin...

"My DD loves Japanese food (actually anything Japanese) and she took a recipe or two and made it her own. This is the result. We took the sushi cooking directions from Minado's Perfect Sushi Rice. It's actually not that difficult to make. We don't even have a sushi rolling mat."

Ingredients: nori, fresh ground black pepper...

"Credit for this recipe goes to TWoolfe and Mirjam who came up with the idea in chat. I served it with baked salmon steaks and a sweet pepper stir-fry."
