Onigiri, Japanese rice balls filled with savory ingredients and wrapped in nori, are ideal for meals on the go. They are best consumed within 24 hours, but their shelf life varies greatly depending on the filling used. Proper storage techniques, such as salting the rice and keeping nori separate, can enhance freshness. For longer storage, onigiri should be wrapped or kept in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be enjoyed at room temperature, making them great for lunches or picnics.
"Onigiri is the ultimate meal on the move - filling and satisfying yet so light and portable. After assembling, you don't have to eat it right away."
"Proper storage is simple but crucial. Right when you've finished assembling it, salt the surface to keep the rice soft a bit longer."
