CHEESE STICK ONIGIRI
Japanese rice balls for the dorm room life style. Not for a low sodium diet. I made these one night at about 2 in the morning, and I had only these things on hand. Turned out good enough to share! I hope others make variations and share them back with me!

Steps:
- Prep: Begin by cooking the rice until tender and fluffy. Do not rinse the rice of its starches before cooking because you want the starch to act as a sticking agent later.
- While the rice is cooking, mix the salt and the warm water into a bowl until dissolved. Taste to test saltiness, add more salt if needed. Set aside.
- Next, add together the Soy Sauce, Mirin, and the sugar cube into another bowl.
- Take the cheese stick and chop finely. Then take 1/4 of the pieces and squish into a small ball with your hands. Make 4 balls total and place them into the Soy Sauce mixture.
- When the rice is done place into a large bowl. Fluff the rice until it is hot, but not scorching. (You don't want to burn yourself!).
- Making the Onigiri: First, dip your clean hands (I suggest removing all jewelry) into the bowl of warm saltwater.
- Take a portion of the rice and spread it onto the palm of your hand. Make a small depression in the middle.
- Place one cheese ball into the depression and close the rice layer on top of itself, adding more rice from the bowl to help seal the cheese inches.
- Repeat above steps. If you find that the rice is sticking to your hands, just rewet them in the saltwater.
- Eat warm, or pack them in your bag as a snack for later!

BASIC ONIGIRI
Onigiri! A staple in the Japanese boxed lunch (bento), it adds character to otherwise plain rice. Makes it easier to eat when taking your lunch with you. Also great with Ramen noodles! Use your imagination on onigiri, there is no end to the variety available. A great way to get rid of left over rice from a previous meal. Practice this one, it may take a few tries before you learn to make a consistent shape and size each and every time. It should look like a triangle with 3 dimensions. Brings back memories of Shinkansen stations =).

Steps:
- Let rice cool to where you aren't burning your hands when you handle it.
- Wash hands!
- Rinse hands and leave wet, and rub palms with salt.
- Take a handful of rice and ball with hands, using palm of left hand to form the base, and the palm and fingers of your right hand to form the two sides of a triangle.
- Toss and rotate so that the side that was on your left palm is now rotated to one of the sides on your right hand.
- Repeat until you have a nice triangle shape.
- Repeat starting with rinsing hands and salting hands.
- Wet hands do not stick to rice, which makes shaping the rice much easier.
- The salt adds flavor and helps to sterilize any bacteria.
- Consistency is key with the shapes and size, this will come with practice!
- Now that you have a basic rice ball, you can flavor with any of the optional ingredients or a mix: Sushi Nori- Simply wrap a piece of sushi nori around the rice ball.
- This is a very basic rice ball, and is seen in many boxed lunches.
- Classic!
- Chinese 5 Spice- I will often add a dash of 5 spice to the salt I'm using to add aroma and taste.
- Don't over do it, 5 spice becomes bitter if used excessively!
- Toasted Sesame Seeds- Sprinkle on top for aroma and taste.
- Can also use prepackaged Japanese rice dressing, sold in glass bottles to be shaken over rice for flavor.
- Ume-boshi or cooked fish- In one of the two flat sides of the onigiri, press a divot into it with a finger, and fill with the desired stuffing.
- Leave open or cover with a strip of sushi nori- not the ume boshi though!
- You don't want to choke on the seed if you didn't know it was there!
