Notes

  • For more flavor, you can add salt or try cooking your rice in dashi stock.
  • Best eaten immediately. Rice balls for bento boxes should be wrapped with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out and stored with an ice pack to keep them cool.
  • For storage, wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Microwave to defrost.
  • Refrigeration is not recommended.
