Okay, right away I'm blown away by the quality of this video. Very good audio, and you can really see everything Esther is doing. Wrapping the nori looked a lot easier than I thought it would, to be honest. I bet I have everything I need to make this for lunch tomorrow.
I made the tofu version today and it was so good. We only had okonomiyaki sauce but it tasted great :) I was a bit worried our sheets of nori were too small but the rice was sticky enough for everything to hold in place without the plastic wrap technique. These would be great for a picnic. Thanks for the recipe!
Nice video! Ideal for college students, teens, or busy people for a light meal. However, I don't season the rice and use brown rice instead. It's also a good way to get rid of leftovers (as long as they're not too mushy or wet), such as roasted seasoned meat or veggies or stir-fried. I sometimes add shredded carrots, thinly sliced cucumber, or chopped cilantro, for the color and refreshing taste. Basically, you are using rice to replace 2 slices of bread. Kids just love it! However, if you are on a low-carb diet, you should measure the cooked rice and split it into 2 portions.
Tried this today 4/3/21, I used TJ's medley rice with soy s., mirin and wasabi. Cooked Shrimp and red pepper. Nori sheets. I had it for lunch. Easy and delicious. Thanks for the video.
I was thinking of using a cheese cloth or thin kitchen towel. Wouldn't cut through it of course, but could at least use it to really tighten the whole thing up. A compostable parchment paper would probably work too if you wanted to cut through it and take it to-go.
Love Esther's recipes! Quick question-- I'm not a big fan of the taste of nori; will soy wrappers work well with the clingwrap technique & hold? Thank you!
I am in love with onigiri, but onigirazu is a bit further, and I need to keep my "Sandwich King" title, so I have to learn to do those too...thanks for the mind opener
Thank you for making a vegan version! This looks great! 12:14 Was that some video editing magic? It looked like the seaweed was not going to cover the filling, but then it magically did.
I was more interested in the sage in front of all of it! Good vibes while drinking? Ways not to turn into an alcoholic?! As someone who likes to drink...a lot, I might need some tips🤷🏾♀️my edit: stop acting like you guys are only adding one or two cloves of garlic to shit; sacrilegious as fuck.
Timeline - you should used real washi root “it will be expensive but worth it “ instead of the washi horseradish kind. Reason why is I believe you won’t add sugar because the buy add agave instead
I use a mandolin all the time and don't even use the hand guard thingy. In my experience the trick is making confident strokes, committing to the slice:) Oh yeh, and knowing when the piece is too small to continue...haha
My ex, my sister, my father and I have all ended up in urgent care because of a mandolin! All docs in emergency care say they see mandolin injuries weekly. Many of them! I still use for onions but ONLY with the safety guard! And I leave a good chunk leftover for other uses. Don’t get picky about slicing down to the bottom. Too dangerous!
Sure! Refrigeration may dry out the rice a bit and make it a little stiffer, and the tofu may lose a bit of its crispness, but it will otherwise keep just fine for a few days. Don’t cut it until you are ready to eat it; just keep it wrapped tightly in the plastic wrap and bring it out of the fridge at least a half hour before you’re going to eat it if possible to take some of the chill off the rice. Have fun!
Yum!! The bulgogi one could also be vegetarian friendly if you subbed the ribeye for Soy Curls, I bet that would mimic the thinly sliced beef texture really well. Got to try this, thank you!
I was expecting her to use the word acidity instead of acid, so when I heard acid, the party animal in me was like HMMMMMMMMMMM???? Anyways, great content. Excellent dish Esther
I recommend getting a pair of cut-resistant gloves! You can mandolin with much less concern 🤓 the ones I got are dishwasher safe too! EDIT: I meant “mashine washable” like with my clothes lol. Not dishwasher safe haha
Islam is the true religion it is the most beautiful religion in the world islam means peace justice means no différence between Brown and White except with piety ideed a wonderful religion when we die we Will go To Heaven i am proud that i am a muslim
Esther?🤔🤔. Really? I expect to see this 👵 for a woman with that name....I've never in my life seen an Esther under the age of 58 today.....last time I see an Esther around your age was in the 90s😂. 👍🏾👍🏾

Esther seems comfortable in front of the camera.
Thanks, Duy! Let us know how it goes - and if you share pics, tag Esther and us using #f52community. Thanks, as always, for watching and commenting!
@@kristibeisecker she used to do adult videos.
Esther and Food 52, thank you so much for this! Onigirazu has became a weekly must at home.
made this immediately after watching! more esther please!!

The plastic wrap is for added security when cutting also is more sanitizing when you want to share half of one with someone.
I love your vegetarian/vegan recipes. Thanks to you I eat way less meat.

Great tips! Thanks for sharing
Can you meal prep these? Like make 4 or 5 of them and have them in the fridge for a couple days or will it get soggy?
This looks so amazing!! Also thanks for including an vegetarian version in this video, can't wait to try it.
Onigirazu was my gateway into making onigiri every day
Great recipe! I like Esther's style.
Excellent... the onigirazu is awesome but I love seeing how to make tofu katsu which, by itself, sounds wonderful.
both of these look so good. i LOVE fried tofu, but never thought about doing a katsu'd tofu. definitely saving this for future use.
This girl knows her flavours. Pretty rare in cooking videos nowadays
Simple and great to follow along. I enjoyed this recipe. So excited to have tried this out. Thank you
Very clean cooking studio. Tofu, oyster, caviar, sushi etc. are all for people which have an preferred or an acquired taste for foods.
Looks delicious! I would have added some green onion/scallions...yummy!

She is amazing.
I'm going to have to try this. I have not seen this. Thank you.
If I wanted to avoid using plastic wrap, what could I use instead to help shape the onigirazu?
You can try using bee wax paper
I was thinking of using a cheese cloth or thin kitchen towel. Wouldn't cut through it of course, but could at least use it to really tighten the whole thing up. A compostable parchment paper would probably work too if you wanted to cut through it and take it to-go.
Compostable parchment paper
That looks SO good. Definitely gonna have to make for lunch soon
I’m loving the tofu Katsu. Thanks for the recipe,
Just made it and loved it! Thank you!
Looks awesome!! Can’t wait for an opportunity to try it out!
Thanks for watching, Madeline-hope you enjoy!
Can't wait to try these. Looks yummy!
Esther! thank you.
Esther is brilliant
There was a little food cart my husband and I used to go to that had dry beef curry onigirazu and I miss them all the time.
Very easy to make, surely
Wow! I’m going to try to make it. My mouth is watering! Great alternatives to sandwiches! 👍
Auntie Esther with the cool recipe!
Love this and excited to make it!
looks pretty good. reminds me of Musubi
This looks sooo good tho. I will definitely be making this in the future
Well done! This looks so good!!
Little Note: Give your cut cabbage slices. It will make the salad tastier and a bit softer.
Greetings from Germany
I love Esther and I'm happy to see her in a new video. These recipes look delicious!!!
I can't resist any Esther content! Thanks for these super useful recipes!
Chef, your knife looks so goood
Omg the mandoline made me nervous! Great vid thanks
Love Esther's recipes! Quick question-- I'm not a big fan of the taste of nori; will soy wrappers work well with the clingwrap technique & hold? Thank you!
What kind of sesame oil and soy sauce is that? The bottles are so cool!
Do you assemble these with hot/warm ingredients or do you wait for the rice and Katsu to cool first?
I am in love with onigiri, but onigirazu is a bit further, and I need to keep my "Sandwich King" title, so I have to learn to do those too...thanks for the mind opener
this is awesome! Love this
Thank you for making a vegan version! This looks great!

Nobody gonna talk about the impressive amount of alcohol in the back? Just me? Okay
I was checking the same. I had to pause to see what she has! lol
And she has white sage too!!!
Looks like a nicely supplied Wisconsin cabin. Except for the green plant , poor thing would die of frostbite up here. 😆
Lmao 🤣

Saw a dude cut his fingertip off with a mandolin in a restaurant and since then I get so anxious whenever I see someone using one
I can't even watch people use them, I skip forward or have to look away lol
I use a mandolin all the time and don't even use the hand guard thingy. In my experience the trick is making confident strokes, committing to the slice:) Oh yeh, and knowing when the piece is too small to continue...haha

Cut gloves are life savers. Or really fingertip savers.
I'm definitely going to make this! Curious how long they keep in the fridge. Wondering if I could make two days of lunches for my husband and I.
Sure! Refrigeration may dry out the rice a bit and make it a little stiffer, and the tofu may lose a bit of its crispness, but it will otherwise keep just fine for a few days. Don’t cut it until you are ready to eat it; just keep it wrapped tightly in the plastic wrap and bring it out of the fridge at least a half hour before you’re going to eat it if possible to take some of the chill off the rice. Have fun!
YUMMMMM YESSSSSSSSS PLEASE LOOKS SOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS 😋😊😊😊😊😊CRAVING SOME NOW PLEASE 😊
looks great! (Q: do you need to toast the nori first, or just use it right out of the package? thanks)
Generally packaged nori is already roasted. Many packages also say in English "roasted seaweed"
@@korindian28 cool. thanks!
That look good for real.
Use finger protection when cutting vegs with a mandolin !!!!
Yum!! The bulgogi one could also be vegetarian friendly if you subbed the ribeye for Soy Curls, I bet that would mimic the thinly sliced beef texture really well. Got to try this, thank you!
Or jackfruit or shredded king oyster mushrooms :D
@@kamalinalli3707 Oh yum, love those ideas, those would be even healthier and less processed options!
I would try oyster mushrooms, super delicious if well fried until golden. No need to add any marinade.
these look so tasty!
52.. The new cooking content... Well done !
Awesome video
Atleast im gonna be proud of my quarantine 15 after this
Eggplant bacon would be good with the meat marinade and preparation technique.
That sesame oil and soy sauce look super fancy. Anyone know what brands they are? (It’s kinda blurry in the photo)
Kishibori shoyu soy sauce $24.99 for 24 fl oz
Thank you!
Putting sesame oil in the rice is def a korean twist. This is more like kimbap rice.
Would eating 2 of those for lunch be ideal working in a warehouse for 10 hours a day?
I like your big knife. Not afraid. Proper tool. And I will try that.
Thanks for this! I'll be making it later. But i wonder what Uncle Roger will think?😂
There can never be enough ways to cook tofu
So good
We love Esther! Thank you for the delicious ideas!
I was expecting her to use the word acidity instead of acid, so when I heard acid, the party animal in me was like HMMMMMMMMMMM???? Anyways, great content. Excellent dish Esther
Is there any way to NOT use plastic wrap? Has anyone tried a wax food wrap or something that isn't plastic to shape it?
Carrots: what is my job here? 🥕
Onigirazu is great for a sandwich made with whole ingredients. I don't bother buying bread anymore.
Esther I've missed her!
Oh wow she's really rocking that ganguro girl look recently.
Onigirazu it's super fun to make but my nori sheets are always so thin it tears.
omg, please use your guard when using your mandolin.
I have PTSD from a mandolin incident - it took the tip of my finger 😓🤢😩
Must make these! .. Maybe Mandolin and I can be friends again 😏
they're scary
I recommend getting a pair of cut-resistant gloves! You can mandolin with much less concern 🤓 the ones I got are dishwasher safe too! EDIT: I meant “mashine washable” like with my clothes lol. Not dishwasher safe haha
None of the youtube chefs ever seem to use the guard or some gloves. It's scary and also not a good example to anyone watching.
@@Justin-TPG I think Babish of “binging with babish” is the only one I’ve seen use the gloves whilst mandolining. That’s where I got the idea 👌🏼
@@joelweikguitar I cook by profession, so you would think I’d know better - apparently not 😏🤓
How is tofu katsu healthy?
She sounds just like london tipton
Islam is the true religion it is the most beautiful religion in the world islam means peace justice means no différence between Brown and White except with piety ideed a wonderful religion when we die we Will go To Heaven i am proud that i am a muslim
is there any way I can just like throw this in my food processor and pulse it a few times?
Sure. Why not? I like your creativity
A food processor with a shredding disc would work great for any of the veggies in here!
I've got a shredding disc. Should have thought of that
Yummy
Fanciest soy sauce and sesame oil I’ve ever seen! Also impressive selection of libations behind Esther. Missed seeing her gadget test videos!
❤❤👍
I don't want to be first...
And edit after watching: This looked super delicious. I'll have to make this soon.
Also, Fucking fantastic. I think the slaw would have been awesome with the meat.
Ester!
Fuyoiiii 😂
try to do one plastic free
배고팡
🤤
horseradish is a better wasabbi substitute
ahhhhhh I hate watching ppl use the mandoline! sooooo scary! Why isn't she using the protector thingy?
she needs more artwork for her background!
Agreed, visually the background is very bottom-heavy.
Bulgogi is korean food... ㅎㅎ
Your eyes are gorgeous
You could not find a bigger knife, lol?
Thought she would lose a finger.
ok is it only my understanding of "simple sandwich" sliiiightly differs from her?
Lost me when she started pouring the sugar all over it. I thought this would be a healthy alternative to my work lunch sandwich but apparently not.
You can use a sugar alternative like monk fruit with blended pear or just the pear
