Instructions

  1. 1 Rinse rice with cool water until the water runs clear; drain. Bring rice and ¾ cup water to a boil in a pot; reduce heat. Simmer until water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Cool 10 to 20 minutes.
  2. 2 Cut nori sheet into two 1-inch strips; reserve remainder of sheet for tamagoyaki.

Create an indention in 1 rice portion using your thumb; fill indention with 1 teaspoon bonito flakes. Top with another rice portion to enclose onigiri.

Sprinkle white and black sesame seeds on top of onigiri. Place in a bento box.
  4. 4 Whisk eggs, mirin, and ⅛ teaspoon tamari together in a bowl; divide into 3 portions. Cut remaining portion nori sheet into four ½-inch strips.
  5. 5 Heat oil in a small saucepan or square tamagoyaki pan over medium-high heat. Add ⅓ egg mixture; cook until almost firm, 2 to 3 minutes, if omelet is too firm, it won't stick together very well. Slide flat omelet onto a plate. Add 4 nori (½-inch) strips to the pan with some space between each.
  6. 6 Add ⅓ egg mixture to the pan; cook until almost firm, 2 to 3 minutes. Roll up carefully in the pan with nori strips. Slide rolled omelet onto edge of first unrolled omelet. Add remaining ⅓ egg mixture to the pan; cook until almost firm, 2 to 3 minutes, roll it up and slide on top of second omelet. Cool until cool enough to touch, about 5 minutes.
