🎬 Behind the scenes
This menu was created when my child was still very young. I chose onigiri—mixing various ingredients with the rice so they can be easily eaten by hand—and opted for chicken to provide a good source of protein. Since my child doesn’t eat much soup, I served it in a small bowl. I also included seaweed, rich in dietary fiber and minerals, as a snack-like side. Finally, yogurt topped with strawberry jam was added to help supply calcium and vitamins.
