If you are a meat lover, this onigiri is perfect for you. It’s so simple yet it can be served as a main dish for lunch or dinner. I use thinly sliced leek as a garnish but chopped spring onion (scallion) or ginger goes well with beef too. If you prefer pork, choose cuts with less fat. This onigiri is great for packing in a lunchbox as it tastes great even when cold.
