For me, lunch is more about the art of compilation than cause for any actual cooking. <br /> <br />This assembly line meal combines the best of a Japanese rice ball (onigiri) with the bright, robust flavors of Korean maki (kimbap). A single-serving package of toasted laver provides for fresh seaweed that retains its crispiness without having to resort to the fancy sheets of laver that come individually wrapped in plastic with origami instructions. And the free-form style allows you to top it with whatever you please, in this case spicy tuna with a vegetal punch from perilla leaves and pickled daikon. (This lunch owes a lot to the spicy tuna kimbap at Emo's in NYC's Koreatown.) - nightkitchen
