5 mins each 🍙 6 Easy Onigiri recipes for beginners! Japanese Rice ball

[@yuka_jp]

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.

[@danielalvaez103]

I used regular medium grain rice, it worked fine for me

[@darksakurattv]

I have an onigiri mold I picked up at Daiso. I have a few smaller ones for children's bento, which means I can have a variety of flavors. I love umeboshi with takuan.

[@kris-sama666]

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.

Do you know if Basmati rice can be used? I simply have a whole bag that I still need to go through before I can buy more rice.

[@bighatastrea]

It's so nice how you can use literally anything for them, like olive and cheese because it's in your fridge right now. I saw weird purists on reddit talk about how "a real onigiri" needs tuna/mayo filling and I was like "bruh wtf if a Japanese person lived in the West they'd probably just go to the grocery store and fill their onigiri with whatever they like"

[@jway9097]

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.

[@GaleGrim]

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!

[@Goozeeeee]

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)).

[@jmiquelmb]

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. I'd normally stay away from "regular" rice. When making onigiri, I've used better varieties that are suited for paella like Albufera, Bomba or Senia, and the results were good.

I used round rice for onigiri and they came out great! Really didn't want to spend 7 euros on just 1 kilo of rice, it's really sad that prices on japanese products are so high here. Thank you for the video, it's really helpful!

[@LisaSkywalker]

yes you can just use the short grain round rice (the rice that is used for rice pudding dessert) and it will be same rice as the one they sell as "sushi rice" in European supermarkets. I tried both and both were the same

[@AlwaysPlaying1969]

Short round rice should work out. I've used it several times and works just fine. Remember to wash it thoroughly, until water comes out clear.

[@llondriga]

Arborio rice, the one used in risotto, works really well and is way cheaper! (:

[@krakenbutt]

I also use round rice for making onigiris, the type we in Finland use for rice porridge. It's one of the cheapest kind and IMO works really well, is sticky enough and you get this fluffy texture but without the rice being too mushy.

[@ChaoticLifemaker]

@@AlwaysPlaying1969 Why though? We want it sticky right?

[@kenreynolds1000]

Another trick is a shake of MSG in the tuna for authenticity. Japanese mayo has some in it already, but if you don't have any on hand, it works. I use sushi rice seasoned with a little mirin, rice vinegar & salt, plenty sticky. Tamagoyaki style egg with bacon in the middle is another hit.

[@wpc456cpw]

Mmmm perfect. I add MSG to my tuna mayo filling. 😍

[@Elazul2k]

@@hommefataltaemin This might be a little sacrilege but canned salmon mixed with a little bit of a good teriyaki sauce is pretty good.

I like frying shrimp in soy sauce and a little bit of sesame oil. Then you can either chop them into small pieces and put a clump in or just put a whole shrimp in the middle.

[@MrZeDeathcaller]

An easy one (though you have to find the main filler), is just filling with an "umeboshi": a Japanese-bred pickled plum (But its closer to a small apricot). Whole or chopped and mixed with the rice :)

thanks i never saw so many onigiri styles explainted in one Video thx really much love it

I tried two of your onigiri recipes today - they are really great! I never made anything similar, so I was prepared to fail, but the outcome was surprisingly good. I tried the one with tuna and the one with cheese for my kids. thanks a lot for your videos, I really enjoy them!

[@rileysmith4735]

I've never made onigiri, but I've made tuna/mayo sandwiches since I was young! Try with a little less soy sauce, but add a spoonful of sweet pickle relish, shake in some onion powder and paprika, and give a quick splash of rice vinegar. Then you'll have my signature tuna mix!

[@KirstenEvans232]

Oh delicious. I'll give it a try. Thanks 😁

[@imaniscott8535]

The plastic wrap trick was so impressive! I made onigiri two days ago and I gave up on making the triangle because its actually more complicated than I thought! I kept getting the rice to stick on my fingers, and with the rice as hot as it was I struggled to get the shape I wanted. Thank yo so much! I'm totally going forward with a trick or two from your video!

[@SwampWater]

Wait until the rice cools somewhat. Another trick is to dip your hands in water (with salt dissolved in it) before shaping. It helps to shape the rice, prevents it from sticking to your hands, and seasons the rice simultaneously. 👌😊

[@flameyay5207]

Thank you so much for the video. I have a digestive disorder and have to avoid wheat as part of it. It's so wonderful to be able to pack a lunch that doesn't make me literally sick (like sandwiches). Thank you so much. 😊

Thank you for sharing! The foil trick is soooooooo smart! I will never have to restock my onigiri plastic sheets anymore! THANK YOU!!!

[@kitsuneouji]

I once heard of a trick that if you have rice you know won't be sticky enough, you can add a little bit of milk while cooking at that should make it more sticky!

[@raraavis7782]

Or just a bit of starch. Doesn't even have to be rice starch. Corn starch, which most people will have at home, will do just fine.

[@adog6126]

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...)

[@murphy54000]

Regular chopped/diced tomatoes would probably be too wet for onigiri, but sundried could work fine. You might have to settle for tomato paste for tomato flavor, depending on how you want to do the lettuce.

[@lofiz2646]

Reminds me of zongzi, something my mom would used to make. Its similar to onigiri except its wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed with sticky rice my mom would fill it with nuts, mushrooms and pork. Yummy

I normally use Jasmine rice for onigiri(i live in Sweden) I cook it in a rice cooker. It works just as well! Japanese and round grain rice, can be difficult since you need to soak it beforehand, at least with the type I can buy. But Jasmine rice works just as well ^^

[@freechilli8755]

I've never needed to soak Japanese rice before cooking. Then again I use a Japanese brand rice cooker and not a standard pot.

[@scraperindustry]

I have an European rice cooker and you don't need to soak it even if it says so on the packaging. Just wash and drain ad normal and add the correct ratio of water. I always do 1 cup rice to 1 cup water plus a third cup water. (For example, if you're cooking two cups of rice, add 2 and 1/3 cup water, or for 3 cups, 3 cup rice to 3 and 1/3 water)

[@TheSwedishMel]

I live in Sweden too and I used the Blue Dragon Sushi Ris for making onigiri, they sell that at most big Ica/Coop etc. It's usually in the "Asian section" where they sell the sushi kits, wasabi, ginger etc. That rice worked really well too!

It has a see through quality to it, its not as pearly white as long grain rice. Also rizotto or any rice for soup should be see through with white dots. Any yellowish tint rice is for pilaf. Then the rest are more specialiazed versions of those types.

[@vukkulvar9769]

You can also find some sort of sushi roll. A single plastic sheet is wrapped twice around the roll. But the nori algae is in between the plastic rather than touching the rice. So when you unwrap the roll, you can easily use the packaging to wrap the nori algae around the rice right before eating.

[@victoriagledhill5872]

Tuna and mayo is my favorite (I do mine differently). And the trick for with the aluminum foil is just genius!!!! Thanks 👍

[@johnwang9914]

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.

Where i live, the cream cheese and seafood combo is a regular on sushi and onigiri fillings. Shrimp and salmon especially. You made these so easy! My rice usually sticks too much! These look delicious, I'll try some.

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