Rice Craft

“Step aside, cake pops—there’s a new spherical treat that’s ready to steal the after-school-snack spotlight, and this one’s healthy and easy to make.” —Today

There’s not a lunch box, birthday party, or afternoon snack that isn’t made more delicious and fun with onigiri! These bite-size balls of rice can be made with favorite and nutritious ingredients, and are easily shaped and decorated to make animals, flowers, and more. This book features more than thirty recipes for flavorful onigiri with a range of fillings as well as master recipes for cooking rice, plus extras to round out the meal: a miso soup to float the rice balls in, perfect soft eggs to wrap in rice, and pickled ginger to serve on the side. More than twenty color photographs inspire new creations and teach kids and adults alike to make these creative treats.
