  • In this video, I am making Onigiri, Japanese Rice Balls with three different fillings and one only with salt. To be able to make the form of Onigiri may take a bit of practice, but Onigiri will taste somehow much better than just the rice and the filling together. We say because it is prepared with "Love".
    In my Channel, I show step by step of alternative but authentic Japanese home cooking, which can be made with the ingredients available outside of Japan.
    Ingredients for Onigiri
    For all:
    Cooked rice
    for four Onigiri: 1/2 cup (125 ml) of rice and
    3/5 cup (150 ml) of water
    Salt    1/2 - 1 Tsp (2-5 g)
    Bonito flakes 5 g
    Soy sauce 1 Tsp
    Umeboshi (pickled plum) 1
    Salted salmon 1 piece
    These side dishes are also perfect to go with Onigiri.

    It's interesting to see how Japanese food is made in Japan. Here in the US, my grandparents made do with what was available back in the late 1800s, and since they had to travel 200 miles away to buy things like nori, they made onigiri without the nori part so that's what I'm used to eating. I can see why nori would add a lot of flavor to the onigiri, though. We almost exclusively ate the plain salted version and the pitted umeboshi version so we didn't have to spit out the seed! Thanks for sharing!

    • @iChillypepper
      @iChillypepper Рік тому +2

      That’s so true! In Mexico, the umeboshi was spicy too! I was surprised in Japan it’s just salty lol not sure who in the family also decided to make the unagiri with chorizo 😅

  • @Kittyminxx
    @Kittyminxx 2 роки тому +96

    Just to let you know in English ‘toppings that go inside’ we call ‘fillings’ or it’s filled with. So like ‘this doughnut is filled with with jam’ or ‘this doughnut has a jam filling’ so in this case onigiri is filled. Hope I’m helping and not patronising you in anyway ><
    Love the vids I’ve even started making a few recipes. Thank u so much!

    I pretty much lived on umeboshi and salted salmon onigiri for my entire pregnancy. That and inarizushi. There was something about the combination of short grain rice, pickled plums, and seaweed that eased my near-constant nausea, and even today I still make them for lunch at least once a week and think of it as comfort food. Thanks for an easy tutorial. For a long time I messed them up because I compressed them together too much. I was concentrating on getting the perfect triangle shape, but i let the rice get too dense and squished.

    I usually have a problem with cooking rice (in general). Because it seems that a lot of factors influence if it's going to be cooked well - whether you rince it, how much water you put, on what heat you cook it, etc.
    Your part in the video of cooking the rice is very detailed - so I appreciate it! :)

      it depends on the season, but in Summer no more than like 5-7 hours (in cool place), in the winter around 12 hours or so. of course covered. do not store rice in regular fridge, unless you can set it above 10 degrees, since under 5 degrees the starch will harden.

      I use Yume-nishiki or Nishiki. it really depends on what kind of brown rice, since the (most) brown rice is exactly the same rice, just not polished. in general brown rice, b/c it is surrounded by the bran, it does not stick to each other, but defiantly possible.

    Stir vs mixing - mixing means combining 2 or more items together. When you are combining the bonito flakes with the soy sauce, you are mixing. Stirring is to move or agitate a substance so that there is more exposure. What you are doing when moving the rice is stirring it, not mixing it.

      no it is not. Jasmin rice is a long grain rice. Jasmin rice is not very sticky due to less starch content and would probably not come together as Onigiri like in the video.
      in Japan we use short grain (sticky) rice, which is eaten primarily only in Japan and Korea. search for Japanese rice or Sushi rice.
