Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls) Recipe

My incredibly gifted daughter made some awesome Onigiri for us today. They are a traditional Japanese Rice Ball that usually has something wonderful inside of it. She put some  crab in ours this afternoon. She loves all things Japanese and is also a huge Anime fan. Add some Soy Sauce and some chopsticks? And you have a great feast! It makes me happy to see my daughter follow in my culinary footsteps. She loves to cook as much as I do.
