It took me almost 3 days to make Onigiri the right way, mostly because I am lazy and wouldn't bother keep on trying on the same day.... But after doing it much more correctly, I've started bringing some to work with me in a Japanese Pento Lunch Box and people just saw mines and they wanted some.... then I started making some now and then for my co workers that paid me 5 dollars for each one and I kinda made a little money here and there... some of my co-workers are big anime fans (I myself don't watch many of that) so I'm glad that I can make them happy.... Of course since I am Hispanic and I find myself being asked why do I make good japanese treats than I do with my own cultural food (I'm Puerto Rican and I don't want to make high blood pressure food lol) and I just shrug and say "You DARE try to Culture SHAME MEEEEE"
@@TakoshihoCooksJapan I am just learning. Onigiri was my first Japanese treat to make. I am very curious on how to make more yummy things of Japan. I really like it's culture and interesting foods.
Onigiri is so underrated it’s a perfect take along or on the go food and with so many choices for fillings or wraps and even desert combos it could be limitless, great video 👍🏼😃
Wow! Simple, straightforward recipe with fantastic editing and really great music. I think I just found a new favorite channel 😄 also I see what you did at 01:21 very, very slick.
Arigato gozai mashi ta from Australia. When travelling around Japan, one of the quick foods I loved was Onigiri. It's a bit of a surprise, because I'm the Gaigin of Gaigins when it comes to eating rice. I do like the humble white grain. But it really needs to be with a curry or something like that. However the various Onigiri, whether at the railway station of the 7-11 convenience store, never let me down with taste & that satisfying quick snack for busy people. I will try making this at home. Thank you.
Wow, great story! Thank you for sharing it. Yeah, Japanese onigiri has wide variety which we never get bored of. Hope you can make something new for your liking!
Glad you read it all. I needed to write description specifically even though onigiri seems so easy to make. It requires some tips to make GOOD onigiri. Hope you will try it:)
Thank you for watching and giving me a comment! The reason why I use a fabric on the rice pot is preventing rice from getting water droplets. If you don't use any fabric, the rice gets too soggy and mushy.
When we make a onigiri, rice should be warm. I've never made tempura in a air fryer, but it seems you can! I just found this recipe. Hope you can make it at home.www.mochimommy.com/air-fryer-tempura/
This was very helpful! Even thought i’m not into cooking a lot but i really love sushi & onigiri and i really wanna try making them at home! So thank you for this! But i just have these 2 questions about this video:- That sushi rice can be cooked the same way as normal rice right? (Cuz i think my mum cooks it in a way different from urs so i was just curious) And second of all, when u want to stick the rice together, was that water that used? Sorry if those are dumb questions😅❤️
2. when u want to stick the rice together, was that water that used? : I didn't get the exact quistion. I use normal water and put some salt to fold a onigiri. When I make sushi, I use the mixture of vinegar and water instead! Thanks for asking! Let me know if you have more Questions!
Hi! Thank you for the simple recipes! But for the mayo,did you use the japanese mayo? Or did you use the normal one but add soy sauce as substitute? :)
Hi, thanks! Yeah, I used Japanese mayo called "Kewpie", but I'm sure you can substitute with normal mayo that you have, and adding soy sauce would be fine.
What is the ratio of rice to water that you use? Mine are a hot or miss at 5:6 (rice:water) in a slow cooker. To be honest, I've had a little more success using the "first knuckle" method.
Sorry for the late reply! It depends on the type if rice cooker and the variety of rice. That's why I didn't mention the ratio. I usually do 9:9.5 (rice:water) for onigiri and sushi because I want the rice a bit firm. For normal bowl of rice, I do 9:10. Funny you knew the "first knuckle" method.😂
You sure can. Tastes great with some soy sauce, white sesame seeds, grated ginger, etc. Just keep an eye on your fillings that they are not too wet/oily. They will either leak or not allow the rice to stick well, or both.
It depends on the kind of rice, I think. You might have used rice which is relatively dry and scattering. You can try with sushi rice aka short grain rice. You can cook rice a bit more moist if you the right rice. Hope it’s gonna be great!
These donuts are great jelly filled are my favorite nothing beats a jelly filled donut
@Ava Rogulski-Hoang I know it's just Brock's famous line from Pokemon
@Ava Rogulski-Hoang you are OK but I don't know why 4kids called those things donuts instead of rice balls
They are not donutes

Thank u for ur great video. It was very useful.
Can you describe about one thing in your video? Why did you cover a fabric on the rice pot?^^
Thank you for watching and giving me a comment! The reason why I use a fabric on the rice pot is preventing rice from getting water droplets. If you don't use any fabric, the rice gets too soggy and mushy.
Can you cool sushi rice before you form the balls? And follow up, can you air fry the shrimp and what would be the time/temps for it?
When we make a onigiri, rice should be warm. I've never made tempura in a air fryer, but it seems you can! I just found this recipe. Hope you can make it at home.www.mochimommy.com/air-fryer-tempura/

Looks incredibly appetising. Cannot wait to try it myself😁
Hope you can enjoy Onigiri for yourself!
Can you make this with ground beef or chicken?
You sure can. Tastes great with some soy sauce, white sesame seeds, grated ginger, etc. Just keep an eye on your fillings that they are not too wet/oily. They will either leak or not allow the rice to stick well, or both.
I'll try this with ground beef or chicken!
Hi, I was wondering how many cups of rice did you cook?
It was almost 500g of cooked rice for 5 normal size onigiris which is about 1.5 cups of uncooked rice.
Hi! You mention 500g of cooked rice... how much is that dry?
225g（7.9oz）!
@@TakoshihoCooksJapan Perfect thanks. This will give a starting point and I can experiment. :D
what type of tuna is best? does albacore work?
Definitely! You can use Albacore tuna for onigiri!
omg so good
Thank you so much!
can i use regular rice or do i have to use sticky rice?
Sorry for the late reply! You can use regular rice!
Takoshiho Cooks Japan thank you so so much!!
Is onigiri something you can eat cold?
Yeah, it's usually eaten cold!
how do you keep the rice together? usually mine falls apart the moment i put it down :(
It depends on the kind of rice, I think. You might have used rice which is relatively dry and scattering. You can try with sushi rice aka short grain rice. You can cook rice a bit more moist if you the right rice. Hope it’s gonna be great!
@@TakoshihoCooksJapan thank you so much, so excited to try these!
what can i use if i don't have mirin?
You can add a bit of sugar instead!
What is that green leaf?
It's a bamboo leaf!
@@TakoshihoCooksJapan thanks can’t wait to make onigiri 🍙 !!!!!
oyashiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arigato❤️❤️❤️
I made this but the rice kept falling but overall it good. 10/10
Oh...it happens due to some kind of rice. Glad you liked it though!
@@TakoshihoCooksJapan ah I thought so lol thank you for replying!
Once you make the shape what's the green thing called you put on it ?
Sorry for the late reply!! It's a nori sheet which is an edible sheet made of seaweed in Japan.
IS THUS STICKY RICE?
This is sushi rice!
5🍙🍘🍚🍣
💕🍙🍙🍙🍙🍙
now i can die in peace
Haha! Me too!🍙🍙
I used the wrong rice
Too bad... Rice is the most important ingredient for onigiri;( Hope you can find a right one.
握りすぎると美味しくない

そうですね！You know it. That's amazing!
