Folding Onigiri

folding onigiri

Folding Onigiri is another way to make Onigiri (おにぎり) rice ball. In this way, you don’t have to hold and shape steamed rice directly in your hands, therefore rice doesn’t stick everywhere. It is also called Onigirazu. All the fillings including rice are placed on a sheet of Nori roasted seaweed, and everything is neatly folded together like Origami paper. The fillings could be anything you like, but here I made Carrot Sunomono, Tuna mayo, and Tamagoyaki egg as fillings for the Onigiri. Super yummy and nutritious! Hope you enjoy this flavor combination!

Tamagoyaki with Tuna and Green Onions

Tamagoyaki with Tuna and Green Onions

Tamagoyaki is a popular Japanese rolled omelette that is commonly eaten for breakfast or packed in bento lunch. You can make a plain Tamagoyaki or mix in many different ingredients for flavor variation. Today, we added a canned tuna and chopped green onions. An entire can of tuna (in water) can be added directly in the egg mixture, which will make it almost like Dashi. It’s packed with umami and quite satisfying with added protein. If you do not have a Tamagoyaki pan, you can simply make this into a regular omelette in a frying pan. It’s so simple to make with easy to find ingredients.

Tamagoyaki Sandwich Recipe

Tamagoyaki Sandwich Bento

Tamagoyaki Sandwich is a popular choice for Japanese Bento lunch.  Tamagoyaki, pan-fried egg, is a quick but delicious filling for sandwiches.  Just make some eggs into a thick frittata-like shape, which takes no time, sandwich the eggs with bread slices, and that’s it.  Oh – don’t forget to spread some Japanese mayo and Karashi hot mustard.  That’s the key taste of this dish.  Tangy Japanese mayonnaise and spicy mustard go very well with mild flavored cooked eggs.  To build your Bento, pack your favorite vegetables and fruits to add more nutrition along with the sandwich.  Choose colorful ones to please the eyes of your family.  There are other easy and tasty sandwich recipes in our cook book Simply Bento: Delicious Box Lunch Ideas for Healthy Portions to Go.  We have over 140 Bento recipes for both main and side dishes.  Simply Bento is available online and at book stores.

Assorted Tamagoyaki Recipe

Tamagoyaki with spinach and benishoga pickled ginger

Tamagoyaki is thin layers of eggs cooked and rolled into a log using a special rectangular Tamagoyaki pan.  This neatly shaped Japanese omelette is a great side dish for any meal, but it is an especially wonderful addition to a Bento lunch since it’s good cold.  You can mix in different flavors and ingredients to regular Tamagoyaki so that you don’t get tired of the same old taste (well, is that possible?).  Here we added Benishoga, pickled red ginger, to one version to give a little spiciness and sourness.  In another one, cooked spinach, was added to give a nice green color and extra nutritions.  You can also try chopped ham, Aonori (dried green seaweed), or any meats and vegetables you like for variations.  Play with it, and create your own original Tamagoyaki!
