Spanish Yaki Onigiri

When I was a small child living in Nakamichi, Japan my favorite thing to eat was yaki onigiri. (which translates to grilled triangular shaped rice) However as much as I love all Japanese food, there are exceptions which include Umeboshi (pickled plums), which resulted in my (spanish) mother replacing the filling of my yaki onigiris with olives. This only resulted in it becoming more delicious, which proves that growing up ethnically confused results in some delicious cross cultural food combinations. Sadly because I no longer live in Japan, I do not have a very tiny but powerful broiler right underneath the stove, although I didn't have an oven back then making cake baking pretty impossible.
