What it is
This is a pre-made rice ball, known as onigiri, featuring a savory pork filling. It is typically made with short-grain rice, seasoned and formed into a triangular or round shape. The pork filling is usually cooked and seasoned to complement the rice, offering a satisfying and convenient meal or snack. The exterior of the rice ball may sometimes be wrapped in nori, a type of seaweed.

To enjoy, simply unwrap the onigiri. It is ready to eat straight from the package. For a slightly different texture, some people enjoy warming it gently. You can microwave it for a short period, being careful not to overheat, or steam it for a few minutes. The pork filling provides a rich flavor that pairs well with the plain rice. It can be eaten on its own or as part of a larger meal.
