Onigiri (rice balls)

#onigiriaction is on for 2021 from 5 October to 5 November 2021.Upload any kind of image that you have created of onigiri (rice balls) with the hashtag #onigiriaction and the sponsors will donate 5 school lunches to kids in need.  You can upload your images to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or directly on the Table for Two or the Onigiri Action 2021 websites. You do not have to be in the picture. You can do a drawing. If you are making it, you only need cooked rice (short or medium grain works best) and maybe a little salt to bring out the umami of the rice. Nori (seaweed) is not necessary though it is very popular in Japan. Alternatively, through freerice.com (https://freerice.com), the World Food Programme raises awareness and funds for providing food around the world to people in need through every question you answer correctly (ads sponsor the food).
