Shiso Goma Shio Onigiri (Shiso and Sesame Salt Rice Balls)

Onigiri (Japanese rice balls) are a constant on our weekly menus in the Fuji household. Whether they are for lunch or a snack, we eat them at least once a week. But if you’ve been reading La Fuji Mama for very long, you already know that! I am going to start sharing a new onigiri […]

The girls and I are currently on the road. Mr. Fuji went to Japan on a business trip, so the Fujilings and I decided to go and have our own adventure instead of sitting around at home! We drove 916 miles from our house to Wenatchee, Washington (in north-central Washington) to visit my brother for […]

The arrival of spring always signals to me the start of California avocado season. I’m excited to be working with California Avocados again this year and am kicking off the season with a recipe for Fruity California Avocado Rice Cakes! If you are gluten-free or just looking for a change, this is a crunchy twist […]
