I got started making it from the just bento blog. We don't have any molds yet, so I just use a measuring cup. I line it with plastic wrap, brush the plastic wrap with sesame oil and sprinkle some kosher salt on it, then the hot rice, and wrap the plastic wrap around and shape it into a ball or a triangle. The salt and oil flavor the outside of the rice. Before eating it we usually wrap it in some nori (seaweed). I usually fill it with tuna, which isn't really applicable to this blog. However, my son likes it with pickles inside. I also think it would taste great with Korean pickled radish inside, and maybe some carrots that had been sliced thin and stir fried in sesame oil, some blanched spinach, etc.<br />We make Korean style sushi rolls and use the radish, carrots, spinach and some scrambled eggs cut into strips inside. Any of those would be great fillings for onigiri.Heffalumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166154112206680302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387303056804874359.post-73019627027786698722011-02-10T06:34:21.953-08:002011-02-10T06:34:21.953-08:00I've got a good recipe - I'll email it to ...I've got a good recipe - I'll email it to you.Reluctant Nomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777629955562705346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387303056804874359.post-44772665673713557122010-10-15T08:01:03.879-07:002010-10-15T08:01:03.879-07:00I say coffee cake.

When I was a strict veg, I spent a lot of time eating side dishes, and it really was just fine most of the time. <br />Johnna, your point is right on--vegetarian or not, trying to please all the people all the time is an issue. <br />I was looking at my list for this week, and it is definitely high on the meat side this time. Last night we had chicken biryani (a crowd pleaser). We'll also have a pasta dish with spicy turkey sausage. And, I bought lamb in an attempt to show love to my husband by making a greek dish. This is the first time I've ever bought lamb. It may be the last. <br />I like your schedule--in thinking about it, I probably do something pretty similar. I also ask for requests. If you don't place an order for the week, you aren't allowed to fuss. :)Elizabeth-Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12215621448451413460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387303056804874359.post-71738596772738366042010-03-01T10:36:53.918-08:002010-03-01T10:36:53.918-08:00Being the everyday cook is hard and thankless work...Being the everyday cook is hard and thankless work. It seems when I make someone happy, two others are not. It really gets me down.<br /><br />Yet sticking to 5-7 "safe" dishes is depressing in other ways.<br /><br />I think anyone cooking for a family everyday faces this problem; eating meat doesn't make it go away.<br /><br />One strategy I have is to serve some kind of bread like rolls or cornbread with the new or funky dishes. The rule in our house is you have to have two bites of everything. If my 10-year-old with sensory issues makes bread the rest of his meal, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make so I can eat Chakchouka.<br /><br />And I've read that most kids/people need to eat a food 10 times before they can like it. So I braved my way through lots of 2-biters, with lowered expectations for that night and hope for the future.<br /><br />Four years ago I made a weekly chart, that was a helpful strategy for about two years. It was something like: <br />--Monday was traditional food, <br />--Tuesday was pasta, <br />--Wednesday was Mex or Thai, <br />--Thursday was Soup (but Salad in the Summer), <br />--Friday was Pizza. <br />While it lasted, it really did seem to help the unhappy to know when something they really liked would be coming around. And though I can't commit to a specific menu schedule over a month, I can commit to categories just fine.<br /><br />It ended because Pasta Girl took up a campaign against it. I plot to secretly reinstate.<br /><br />"Traditional Food" really meant my day to experiment, to make a well-rounded meal of the type I thought was beautiful. Pasta night was to please the one un-please-able child; on other days when she was unhappy I could remind her that Tuesday was pasta again. Pizza was for sensory boy. The vegetarian was happy everyday because she's like that; and the youngest ate a lot of bread when necessary, especially on Mondays. <br /><br />That said, I've noticed since I started posting my menus here, I repeat the favorites more than I realized.Johnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00773075683946846125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387303056804874359.post-9516572785400111882010-03-01T06:34:18.111-08:002010-03-01T06:34:18.111-08:00My oldest (now 17) stopped eating meat when she wa...My oldest (now 17) stopped eating meat when she was 4. We made this work often by making something like, say, fried rice for dinner with lots of vegetables and scrambled eggs in it, and then having crispy fried pork bits on the side for the rest of us to mix in. Or having black beans and rice, with Italian sausages on the side for the us. Sometimes she just ate side dishes if we were having a roast or something. Now my youngest is also a vegetarian, and our meals have gone completely vegetarian. I only get meat at lunch unless we're eating out. Oh well, it's healthier and cheaper!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105081255727161126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387303056804874359.post-16543842945945503002010-02-23T10:58:11.259-08:002010-02-23T10:58:11.259-08:00My friend Lisa sent me this comment--for some reas...My friend Lisa sent me this comment--for some reason she couldn't post it to the blog:<br /><br />I cook a lot of new things, too, and sometimes I want to turn into my mom, too! In fact, I think I said that just last week! I don't think I will ever stop trying things. Today I bought my first Leek. I think trying new things is awesome, but I try to save it for days that aren't as crazy and keep the stand-bys for the crazy nights. Happy medium. I'm not sure if the kids will thank you. I made maple-walnut chicken the other night (I've made it several times), it's really good, and my daughter wanted a pb&j (or whatever). She's almost 13 and she still doesn't eat everything.
