"Started as a pop-up by a self-described onigiri obsessive, this maker wakes early to produce up to 300 fresh stuffed rice balls for events, selling out regularly at spots such as a Feng Cha boba shop in Addison. The founder collaborated with a chef friend to perfect rice and technique, offering inventive fillings that range from brisket to egg salad to pickled plums, and treats the pop-ups as a testing ground while considering a possible permanent location in the future." - Brittanie Shey
