First time for raw fish sushi & Onigiri bento box

I told you, I have a student from Saudi Arabia at my house.
He can not eat pork by the reason of his religion.
So I am cooking beef and chicken dishes for him.

But, last week, he ate fresh and raw salmon sushi at first time in his 24 years life.
I said to him, "don't ask any question about this ingredient and just bite it"
He say " yes Mom, I trust you".
I show him how to mix with soy sauce and wasabi, and dip the sushi just little be.
He ate it and said "delicious!"

Yes, fresh sushi are delicious even for the first time experience persons in their life.
He could not stop eating sushi, he keep asking me more and more.
So I started to make hand roll for him because easy to hold and bite it.

Just he does not know about sushi fishes are so expensive.
But, I was so happy to see his smile with my sushi.

Japanese people love "onigiri" (rice ball )with stuffing of pickled plum, grilled salmon and shaved dry bonito.

Japanese Mom make different shapes of rice balls such as flat triangle, flat round and cylinder.
And wrap the onigiri with a nori (roasted seaweed sheet).
Simple and delicious homely dish.

We love "onigiri"as our Mom's taste, so I made onigiri bento box for my business.

See you soon.

Love
