I was asked to bring a dish to share, so I decided to make healthy onigiri (rice balls) with my double-lid donabe rice cooker, "Kamado-san"!

Brown and black rice were cooked in donabe together. The rice was tossed with the culcium-rich mixture of dried-baby fish ("jako"), crysanthemum leaves, turnip leaves, sesame seeds, and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. I served them on bamboo leaves with nori seaweed on the side. I posted the basic recipe on my previous blog post linked here.

The luncheon was held at one of our friends' backyard. It was a beautiful setting with a variety of healthy homemade dishes plus the rolled cake tower and Midori's diaper cake (not edible:-)!
I'm glad everybody including the guest of honor enjoyed my donabe rice onigiri...they were gone so quickly.
Happy donabe life.
