Ginger Takikomi Gohan Onigiri

I like to prepare this onigiri when I find fresh young ginger in the market as I really enjoy the taste of ginger simply cooked with deep-fried bean curd. If you like, you can add unagi (barbecued eel) in the onigiri—they go really well together. This is the perfect onigiri to eat when you need some extra energy or when you feel a cold coming, as eating ginger is known to strengthen the immune system.
