Hi! Some of the viewers told me that it was difficult to shape the onigiri. (I'm sorry to hear that but thank you for trying!) Here are some additional tips. Hope it helps 🙏🙏🙏 1. Use sticky rice. 2. If you put too much or too little water when you make rice, it would be difficult to shape it. For making rice, we usually put 200ml water for 1 rice cup (180ml of rice). 3. When you shape it, the rice should be hot or warm. The rice becomes less sticky when it’s cold. 4. If the amount of the fillings or ingredients are too much, it’s more difficult to shape it. Try to put less.

For people looking for help, Remember to use sticky sushi rice! It helps a lot. Having a rice cooker is a huge bonus since it cuts the time down plus you can walk away from the rice as it cooks. I can't shape onigiri for the life of me but some onigiri molds helped! I also keep a spam masubi mold cause we enjoy that a lot in my household. Oh also rice seasonings kick it up a notch.

Since she's in Spain: I'll chime in. Big reveal: "tapas" are not a thing. It's just putting _whatever you want_ on a plate, cut into small portions, and have everyone eat from it. "Tapas" relates to the _how_ you eat, not the _what._ The next time you see Spanish tapas (or Greek meze, same thing), know that you can slice a sausage at home in a lot of small pieces, put some ketchup and mustard on each piece, and tada: you've made yourself a sausage tapa. Do 3 more of those with whatever you want, and you've got yourself dinner for two, where everyone can taste everything, share everything, and comment on everything, without having to decide whether you prefer fish or meat today.

1:28 A small tip based on what I know about rice! The good rice types for rice balls are generally called "short grain rice" or "short rice". They are packed with more starch per grain then the long grain rice so they stick together easier cause starch is a type of sugar which is.. well... STICKY! Like sugar tends to be! Most European and North American rice are long grain, where as most Asian rices are short. Good luck!
@Goozeeeee2 жыл бұрын
To anyone looking for more specifics, if you're looking for a Japonica short grain rice, you might want a type that is pretty sticky. Look for Koshihikari rice (the brands you will probably find in America are Tamaki Gold, Kagayaki, and Sekka). This kind is used for sushi in a lot of restaurants and is a pretty decent go to for other stuff too ((thanks Kenji)).

She used short grain, since it's the one that we usually use in Spain. But I think this package she picked is not high quality enough compared to Japanese rice.

Other filling ideas, kinda like how you can put almost anything on a sandwich and it turn out ok: -cream cheese & smoked salmon (& cucumbers too?) -Gamja Jorim (Korean Braised Potatoes/vegetables in a sweet soy sauce) -Fried Spam, cut into small pieces (like Spam musubi) -pickled/cured vegetables (kimchi, umeboshi, daikon radish, 'merican pickles) -tempura anything (meat, vegetables, potatoes) -plain, with furikake (Japanese rice seasonings) -chicken (rotisserie, nugget, karaage, etc.) -crispy tofu (sauced or plain) -imagine BLT ingredients, but inside onigiri... would this be sacrilegous? (Kinda like how taco-rice is a thing in Okinawa, so maybe not...) (clearly I'm hungry...)

Before there was saran wrap and aluminum foil, you would just dampen your hands in salty water to keep the rice from sticking to them. The Mayonnaise should be Japanese mayonnaise which is made of egg yolks and has seasonings and vinegars added, the western sandwich spreads such as Miracle whip would be a closer approximation than just mayonnaise though not as rich and creamy as Japanese mayonnaise. The triangular or rather pyramid shapes was from two hands cupped together. The thick triangles shown became popular with plastic molds but can of course be easily hand formed. Rice bowls were used to measure the amount of rice in each rice ball, roughly half to two thirds of a bowl being one rice ball so often there would be two such rice balls in a bento lunch to make one serving. Japanese rice s short grain to medium grain rice, sometimes a mixture of short or medium grain rice with long grain rice would be used, short grain rice tends to be sweeter and stickier. Normally the rice is just lightly salted often just by dipping your hands in salty water while rolling the balls but some people treat it like sushi rice and mix in sugar and maybe mirin or rice vinegar into the rice, Japanese cultures say that women's hands are too warm for making sushi so they make onegiri (personally, I've found women's hands to be cold but that's because they tend to warm them up against me). My mother would just roll the rice balls into actual balls, I guess she had better things to do then make them look cute.

Hi thank you for the comment 💐 I guess you put too much water when you make rice. Or Japanese rice is too moist to you 🤣?
@apriljordan13052 жыл бұрын
@@yuka_jp Lol thank you! I’ll try using less water next time. Maybe I don’t wait for the rice to cool down enough too. 😂

Maybe niche but here in Sweden we have a thing called "grötris" ("porridge rice") that is short grained and sticky like sushirice. Specific asian sushi rice is usually priced higher, so if ur in sweden/europe and want to save money check if ur store has that

I hadn't seen anyone use plastic wrap for them, that's great! I always have trouble just using my hands so I'll definitely have to try this method!

I love preparing the rice vinegar syrup for the rice, it gives it depth and i found that it was the ingredient keeping my sushi/onigiri from tasting the same as the one made by the chefs!

I first tried onigiri at a Japanese festival here in the UK. A Japanese woman was making them, so I think that means it was authentic!.. Salmon and green onion.. I can't wait to try making some of my own.. Thank you for the video!

hello! thank you for your video! i was wondering how you recommend storing an onigiri. sometimes i like to make them in the morning to eat later in the day but the rice gets dried up in the fridge... thank you :)

Thank you! My friend is a kitchen mage so I wanted to learn how to make delicious things too so she doesn’t have to come home and cook after work.

My fav filling is a filling i discovered today. Only thing in my fridge were eggs, half of a sad looking paprika. I had some onion, so i added half thinly chopped one, a clove of garlic, seasoned it well with salt, pepper, red chilli flakes and asian hot pepper seasoning mix, fried it till golden and till the paprika soaked in lots of that flavour, rhen i added 2 eggs, a dash of milk, mixed it up, let it cook and afterwards i cut that omelette into nice rectangles. For each onigiri i use 2 rectangles of omelette, with wasabi-soy sauce mixture sandwiched with the pieces. That way its on the inside and doesnt burn the outside of the mouth when biting into it. I make them GIANT though, larger than my hands. Thats how i like them. Also remember to add rice vinegar syrup to the rice.

I invested in some onigiri molds. Definitely worth the money and I don't have to keep wasting plastic wrap.
