Bloodshot Onigiri/Purple Onigiri

Whichever you prefer to call it. I’ve considered both choices. What do you like best?

Makes 4 onigiri.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of prepared sticky rice, still warm
• 4 baby beets, whole (I use pickled, but if yours are not pickled or canned, you should at least cook them thoroughly).

To Make:

1. Separate rice into four parts.
2. Flatten all four parts.
3. Place a pickled beet in the center of each one.
4. Roll each into a ball.
5. Let cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour before eating.
