Spicy Tuna Onigiri, Super Convenient Lunch Idea

Dream - Practical food packaging is essential for people with high mobility. Foods that can be conveniently packaged include burgers, hot dogs, kebabs, or onigiri.

Actually, the fillings for these types of foods are almost the same, dominated by proteins such as fish, red meat, chicken, or eggs. Some vegan kebabs are also filled with mushrooms and legumes as a protein substitute.

Dream's friends only need to choose the type of carbohydrate. Onigiri is one of the most suitable choices for Indonesian taste buds because it contains rice. The Japanese flavor is also similar to local food.
