You can easily make one with a choice of your favorite ingredients.

Onigiri is such a perfect option for lunch or when you’re on the go. Find your favorite Onigiri recipe combination!
Ingredients
🍙 300g steamed short-grain rice (1 cup dried short-grain rice)
🍙 ½ teaspoon salt
🍙 1 sheet nori seaweed
tuna mayo filling
1 canned tuna (70-80g), drained
2 tablespoons Japanese mayo
1 teaspoon Soy sauce
Instructions
Prepare steamed rice and cool down so it’s not too hot to deal with.
Drain the oil or water from the canned tuna. Mix it together with soy sauce and mayo until the sauce is fully absorbed by the tuna.
Spread out a square of plastic wrap in a small bowl or cup, and put some salt (about 2 pinches) on it.
Add 1 tablespoons worth of tuna-mayo filling on top then put more rice on so that it completely surrounds the fillings,
sprinkle a bit of salt on top.Wrap it up with plastic wrap, and shape it into a tight triangle.
When it's shaped and the rice is no longer loose (you should be able to unwrap and it will completely stay together). and wrap a piece of Nori (seaweed) around.

Ingredients
300-350g of Chicken thigh
Prep: Slice some of the thick parts open so the thickness is more even. !Cooks evenly!
2 pinches of Salt
Black Pepper for taste
1 clove of garlic (grated), could be substituted with ginger
Teriyaki Sauce
1 tablespoon of brown sugar (or regular sugar)
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of cooking sake (or white wine)
Instructions
Slice open the chicken thigh so the thickness evens out.
Onto the chicken, sprinkle salt, and pepper for taste, rub in grated garlic and coat with corn starch. (all processes on both sides)
Prepare the pan to medium heat.
💡When the pan is too hot, it might burn the surface while the inside is left uncooked. To make sure it is cooked thoroughly and make it juicy inside and crispy outside, keep the temperature at medium heat.
Place the chicken onto the hot pan from the skin side.
Pay attention to the outer edge of the chicken. When the edge looks cooked and the meat is nicely cooked and charred on one side, slip it over and repeat the cooking process on the chicken.
When the chicken is cooked on both sides, take off the excess oil and any residue and pour the sauce mix into the pan.
Flip the chicken a couple of times while cooking the chicken until the sauce is reduced.
