🔽Tips
1. When your onigiri falls apart
Tip1
Use Japanese rice or sushi rice. Easiest way is get sushi rice from your local supermarket :)
There is rice for making mochi in Asia which is called “sticky rice” or “sweet rice” or “glutinous rice”. This type of rice is not for making onigiri.

Tip2
Don't put too much water or too less water when you make rice.
If you use a pot to make rice, put 200ml (0.85 US cup) water for 1 rice cup (180ml = 3/4 US cup)
If you use a rice cooker, just follow the measuring line
Tip3
If the onigiri is too small for your hands, it would be difficult to press hard. If it feels hard to press, use 200g (7oz) cooked rice for one onigiri instead of 150g (5.3oz).
Tip4
When making onigiri, make sure you use warm rice. If it's cold, it's dry and doesn't hold together :(
If it’s cold, microwave rice with a lid for a while. It will be warm and sticky.
Tip5
If you put too much filling, it would also be difficult to shape onigiri. Put less filling :)
2. When the rice stick to your hand
Tip
Put the hands in cold water before making onigiri. If your hands are warm and dry, the rice sticks to your hands. Cool your hands down and make them slightly wet!

★About seasonings
--Substitute for Mirin and Sake--
If you can’t find mirin or sake in your city, you can substitute them like this👇
For 1 tbsp mirin use either:
1 tbsp sake + 1/2 tsp sugar
or
1 tbsp white wine + 1/2 tsp sugar
For 1 tbsp sake use:
1 tbsp mirin
or
1 tbsp white wine
It won’t be exactly the same, but still works 😋
--Recommended products on Amazon US--
*I would recommend you to buy the products in Asian supermarkets. I guess they are cheaper😎✨

I got a feedback that “sticky rice” may be confusing to some people. There is rice for making mochi in Asia which is called “sticky rice” or “sweet rice” or “glutinous rice”. This type of rice is not for making onigiri. To make good onigiri, please use Japanese rice or sushi rice :) I’m sorry for the confusion 🙏🙏 ----------------------------------------------------------- Hello guys! I hope you’re having a lovely day :) I’ve been missing onigiri from konbini (Japanese convenience store), so I tried to copy their onigiri at home 🍙 I hope you enjoy the video! Please check the description box for the ingredients and tips!

[@loati94]

Oh! Since you live in Spain, there's a brand of rice called Brazal, that is sold in el corte ingles, that claims to be good for sushi. It has a yellow packaging. Since I saw that you tried to make onigiri with regular white rice once and it didn't work, It would be interesting to see if this one is what it claims to be. It would be amazing if it works because it's more affordable than sushi rice, but I don't have my hopes up

[@yuka_jp]

Sure! I love going to el corte ingles 🥳 Thanks for sharing!

[@cookbook800]

I love the conversation and the rating of the onigiri at the end! 🍙

[@saul.t.2.969]

I love your recipes. Thank you for sharing.

[@AO-ou7ev]

I just made your kombu onigiri. It was my first time making anything like this and it came out so impressive! thank you for breaking it down and making it less intimidating, before your video i was too scared to try 😅

[@inlandmist5503]

I recently came back from Japan and am missing their food 🥲. Thank you so much for these awesome recipes!

[@DoraG99]

Salmon skin is my favourite part of the fish too! 😁 these all look so incredibly delicious as always! Thank you for sharing, I'll have to try these different recipes soon 🥰❤️

[@yuka_jp]

Thank you 🥰💕 Salmon skin is the best 😋

[@Blanch590]

My dad thinks I’m weird for liking the skin but that’s where the most flavor is when you cook it.

[@eugeneaustriverdelada51]

I love ONIGIRI and japanese cooking, arts, nd the hannya. Love from the philippines.

[@BlackLevant]

i really miss onigiri from combinis in japan. super cheap and super delicious. my absolut favorite snack :)

[@nggoldenpearl]

Looks delicious, will make some …

[@lyssawes8295]

Because of your first Onigiri video I very regulary make them myself. :)

[@yuka_jp]

Wow thank you so much 🥳💕

[@TheGalacticGrizzly]

I love kombu onigiri! I should have it more often, but I'm an impatient cook and it takes so long to make 🙃😅 but when I do, it's always a treat! 😊

[@yuka_jp]

Yeah totally understand 😂😂

[@emily19941]

Oh my God! So tasty. 😊😮 I never pressed the “subscribe “ button so fast!❤

[@gracekim25]

Awesome

[@audreyb1269]

I bought 2,5kg of sweet rice by mistake the other day at the asian supermarket. I was so bummed out when I realised my mistake once I got home, because I really wanted to try to make your onigiris. I'll have to go back and get the right kind of rice next time. Also, thank you for these new recipes, they sounds amazing!

[@chey7691]

Sweet rice is great for desserts, and of course mochi. It's hard to find whole here, but I recommend making making homemade mochi with it and it's great for Horchata (Mexican rice water).

[@yuka_jp]

Sorry to hear that 😢 I hope you get the right one soon and make good onigiri :)

[@mira.r]

dont be bummed out. glutinous rice is great for making lots of east asian desserts! like the comment above me mentioned. you can make mochi and horchata or make vietnamese coconut sticky rice or thai mango sticky rice!

[@marcytep7103]

Looks really good 😊how long did you cook each side for the salmon ?

[@O2life]

I love onigiri and tried making it after your last video. Even though I knew which rice to use and had that rice on hand, somehow I managed to cook a pot of basmati instead. It was so disappointing!! They did taste good, but there was no hope of them holding together. I will try again!

[@DoraG99]

I have done this sort of thing before, it's so easy to do! 😂 my brain says "you need rice" and I just grab the first one I see in the pantry without thinking! I've had some very interesting risottos and curries in my life 😂❤️

[@O2life]

@@DoraG99 ha! Okay, I’m glad it’s not just me! 😅

[@kevinchan4824]

Yuka, you have nice bowls & plates, what style bowls you used? Soap, rice or….?

[@cherstv]

looks so delicious ma'am....shout out ma'am for your next vedios....

[@knopajedi411]

Спасибо!

[@Kapi.23]

nice video, i've been making onigiri for a few weeks and i love it. I'm from chile, and we don't have many of the ingredients, but we have tons of seafood so i've been trying out the local fish and see what does or doesn't work. I have a question, do japanese people eat onigiri with soy sauce? i prefer the soy sauce to salt, but only a light coating, i mix sesame oil, soy, and rice vinegar in a small spray container and carry it when i make sushi rice

[@valerycaycho2886]

How long can I store tunaxmayo onigiri in the refrigerator and how do I keep it?

[@liv8293]

For the salmon, can I just use more mirin instead of sake? No close stores near me sell sake :(

[@user-gd9fs3zv6k]

اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فأعفو عني

[@itsalectime]

Hello! I have a small question about seasoned kombu - If you buy it rather than make it from scratch like you did, do you still need to heat it up in a pan and make it all saucy? Or just add sesame seeds? Thank you! :)

[@propheticmusician]

How do U season the rice before making the rice pods?

[@valerycaycho2886]

¿como se almacena el onigiri en el refrigerador?

[@mrchin7562]

I'm hungry D'=

[@bumpedhishead636]

I have to be honest, whenever I try to make onigiri or makizushi, I usually get hungry & lazy and just throw the rice and other ingredients into a poke bowl and eat it without shaping it into anything...

[@garyc6183]

I've made onigiri a few times but it always seems to be kind of "dry". I'm using sushi rice that I cook in a rice cooker. Am I doing something wrong?

[@johannaperez80]

Add more water to your cooking perhaps ? You don't want it just cooked but also a bit overcooked so it's mushier and more manageable

[@yuka_jp]

Maybe you should add more water :) I guess some rice needs more water than usual 😢

[@met_chii]

I wonder while cooking, she actually ate the salmon skin 😂

[@yuka_jp]

😂😂😂

[@O2life]

It's the best part!

[@loati94]

I think calling japanese/sushi rice, sticky rice, can cause confusion to some people because there's also sticky rice which is not regular sushi/japanese rice. Because sticky rice is the one used for mochi, or the thai one eaten with hands. Japanese rice is stickier than regular european white rice, but it's not sticky rice.

[@yuka_jp]

Thank you for the comment! I didn't think of that but you are absolutely right. I'm going to explain it in the pinned comment and the description box. Thank you 🙏🙏
