What is this Japanese rice dish called?

Question:


It's like a rice ball except that it is 'held' together by a thin crispy 'skin' thing. It's a golden color. I don't know what it's called, sounds like oggie or oggi maybe.

Answer:


You could be thinking of Inarizushi (稲荷寿司), which is a pouch of fried tofu filled with usually just sushi rice. The fried tofu is usually a golden colour, or could be Onigiri, which is basically clumps of rice encasing a filling shaped into a triangle or oval. Many are wrapped in a strip of nori for easy handling.
