Question: I need to make some onigiri balls for class!. Anybody have ideas for fillings!? I prefer non-perishable ideas!.
I've tried the tuna and mayonnaise, but I know the mayo can't sit out of the fridge overnight!. I want to make the rice balls over night and take it to school in the morning!. I only have an hour between leaving the house and the class, so that time amount isn't so bad!. I just need something that can sit out of the fridge overnight!.

I'd also prefer some non-pickled items, but I don't mind trying those!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I have never heard of canned tuna mixed with mayo inside onigiri! :o(~

Try fresh tuna, smoked salmon or lox, cream cheese, or you can chop an assortment of veggies and use them seperate or together!. (carrots, cucumbers, bok choy, celery, onion) and mix those in with the cream cheese!. These are the simplest ingredients that I can think of!.!.!.and taste great, too!

The onigiri is traditionally shaped into smooth edged triangular shapes, not balls!. And seawood is optional, as is any of the pickled items such as beets!. :O)

As with sushi, it taste great with wasabi and/or soy sauce! :O) Or both can be mixed into the cream cheese mixture!. :O)
