rice balls
Pressed sticky spheres
Rice balls are handheld portions of rice shaped into rounds, triangles, or cylinders.
Japanese onigiri are typically stuffed with fillings like salmon or pickled plum and wrapped in seaweed.
Italian arancini are breaded and fried, often with meat or cheese inside.
The term covers similar preparations across many cuisines: We grabbed rice balls from the convenience store for lunch.
