Do you know Japan’s leading fast food rice ball called “Onigiri”?
In Japan, rice balls are a very simple home-cooked dish using “rice”, which is loved and eaten by all people regardless of age or gender, from small children to the elderly.
The reason is that rice balls are very easy, healthy, delicious, and easy to carry, so they are very useful in modern society.
Onigiri is easy to make and carry, so it is very convenient not only as a “lunch box” or “snack” in the office or school, but also as a nutritional supplement between sports, a busy morning breakfast or a midnight snack.
We decided to make a recipe for “rice balls” using brown rice and quinoa, which are richer in nutrients and fiber, so that we can eat healthier.
When you’re hungry, why not eat rice balls rather than sweets?
One of the charms of rice balls is that you can put whatever you like in the rice balls and whatever seems to fit.
It’s easy to make, so please give it a try! !!
