Okay, here’s where it gets cool. You can actually freeze onigiri! Wrap them individually in plastic wrap, then pop them in a freezer bag. They’ll last for a month, sometimes longer.
The best part? You can microwave them straight from frozen—just wrap in a damp paper towel first. The steam brings back the softness, and it feels like freshly made rice. It’s like having a little emergency snack stash that never judges you.
But never refreeze thawed onigiri. That’s just asking for trouble, and even I don’t have the stomach for that risk.
