Friskit_Geeba One suggestion to the onigir filling, which may be non traditional might be azuki bean paste. It's a bit sweet tho and may not be fore everyone. Chicken salad is another good filling if you're willing to chop it up very finely. and some homemade furikake you can do on your own would be salt-toasted sesame seeds (basically toasting the seeds in a non-stick pan with some seasoning), or getting fine green tea and putting it through the spice(or coffee) grinder until it's a fine powder for some homemade sugarless matcha! I've read of scrambled egg bits mixed in with the rice, but I haven't tried this myself, so I can't really vouch for it. Edit: Another furikake I forgot because I am a spaz. finely shredded mozzerella and freshly chopped basil is DIVINE when mixed in with your rice (non vinegared of course)

I personally looooove red bean paste and furikake! (tho mine is usually very simple!... and I buy it, I haven't made my own yet sweatdrop ) That cheese one sounds uber!! The egg... hmm, I've made my own kind of deviled egg... I think the filling I made would taste good as a filling here! I'll try and find my recipe (posted somewhere online lol u_u;; )

Does anyone know any fillings that might be easier to make in an American kitchen? And where can I find pickled plum? It sounds like it might be tastey!
Also I went to Marukai and found a bunch of furikake bottles..but there were so many I had no idea which one to buy, and I didn't want to buy a whole bottle and then realize i hated the flavor.
Anyone know any certain flavors of furikake they recommend?

Umeboshi is something you'll probably have to look for in an Asian market. I don't think I've ever seen it in a regular grocery store or even World Market.

You can put almost anything in riceballs so American supermarkets are not a problem. Those are just common options for traditional onigiri. I made chicken teriyaki onigiri for school and everyone loved them 8D
I recommend Nori Fumi Furikake which is just seaweed and sesame seeds. Its simple, yummy, and a good starter if you've never tried any rice seasonings.
Another good one is Katsuo Fumi Furikake which is bonito flakes, seaweed, and sesame seeds ^^

I know this may not be the best theory, but if it can go in a wrap or a burrito, why not rice.

I know this will sound weird, but tuna (cooked) with tartar sauce. and mix some nori in with the rice. I just ate it... have no idea why.

A favorite filling at my house is green onions with thin sliced celery.
Tamago is really tasty too! ^w^
Once, after preparing the eggs and then realizing I was out of mirin, I mixed them with maple syrup and it came out as a very tasty substitute. I even still make it because everyone liked it so much.

I can't get pickled plum very easily, so I started using fresh plum and I love it!

Baked squash rolled in a little sea salt is delicious, and if you're feeling fancier you could mash up the baked squash with some soft cheese like ricotta!
You can also put in chopped up boiled shrimp, or a piece of popcorn chicken in th center.
As far furikake goes, red shiso is my personal favorite! it's so purplely and tasty.
Sesame seeds are good too and even just some sea salt and a little bit of chopped apple taste good in riceballs.
