In a bowl, mix sliced cherry tomatoes with the garlic and enough olive oil to coat. Spread tomatoes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optional: Once cool, roughly chop the roasted cherry tomatoes.

It kind of melts down, but makes it easier to put in the middle and gives a nice salty kick. I can't imagine eating just plain flakes with out the soy on it.

Made the first few rice balls using the recipe as-is though we couldn't find bonito flakes so we used some tuna salad chicken salad and avocado instead.

I have been making these for a while now ever since working with a Japanese fellow who's wife made these for his lunch.

I became intrigued and asked him what they were and he explained and I had to try them so I went home and searched online for instructions. The only thing I do differently is use a different filling. I prefer Avocado or tuna salad in mine most of the time. Salmon is good as mentioned though as well. These are very cheap lunches and are the Japanese equivalent of a Sandwich culturally from what I understand. I always have a few in my fridge for a quick snack also.

It's best if you use Kewpie mayo. Another easy and delicious onigiri (albeit and acquired taste) is umeboshi.

Depending on where you are at you may or may not be able to find umeboshi, but almost any asian market is going to have them. Another easy one is the spam musubi. It is very not authentic, but they are popular in Hawaii. Just fry up the spam first and then attach it to a bit of rice with a strip of seaweed. Some people season the rice first by mixing in some katsuobushi. I experimented with quite a few fillings.

My first fillings consisted of regular can tuna; I let the tuna drain in a pan and heated it in the skillet until the water drained. I added enough soy sauce to the tuna to let it soak up and then evaporate the liquid. It is actually quite tasty and beats the taste of an ordinary onigiri.

The latest experiment I tried was using chocolate as the filling and seasoning the onigiri with sugar. The chocolate kept melting before I could even close the onigiri. Also, it didn't taste as good as I envisioned.

There are a lot of good recipes for homemade ginger dressing floating around the internet, if you're ever up for making your own. If you have a food processor or blender, it's super easy.
