Is it possible to store them in the fridge the night before? Will the rice turned hard? Or the seaweed turned soggy?

[@ochikeron]

good point! if you mix oil in rice like in this recipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWfUfXRtpNCHfq8, rice won't get hard! this is a well known trick tho it adds a bit extra calories 😅speaking of nori, it gets soggy anyway if you carry around for over an hour, so i would keep it in the fridge together.

[@vodka7280]

Thank you very much! Love your channel

[@laurawollner9353]

I use similar kinds of onigiri wrappers and I always make them the night before but my nori hasn't been soggy before. It was always nice and crunchy :) Something you can also do is prepare the Onigiti and wrap it right before you leave. The oil trick is super helpful though!

[@Liuhuayue]

I've heard that you can freeze them and then heat them up with the microwave to prevent rice from getting hard.

[@isabelharwood5089]

where did u buy the wrappers? pls and ty ​@@laurawollner9353

Konbini onigiri was what I mostly ate during my trip to japan lol. I always had one in my bag for snacks, and I never went hungry because of it!

[@chelsiemalfoy]

These are so awesome. Whoever invented them deserves a gold star.

[@ochikeron]

how many of you have ever bought onigiri at konbini?

[@punimarudogaman]

+ochikeron me ! and I love them... But many of my friends told me that they put lots of chemicals in konbini food... I wonder if it is true...

[@ochikeron]

+1up4u not only konbini but we don't know many other foods including the famous burgers, you know... just make sure you don't eat the same thing every day, in general. hehe

[@punimarudogaman]

+ochikeron Good advice. Thanks for your reply.

[@cherriezondatop]

+ochikeron i have, when i was in japan! my favourite one was the one with tamago and tonkatsu in it from 7/11 :D

[@NeoGrimz543]

I have, I miss it. Salmon was my favorite.

[@hc507]

Your daughter is just so cute! I started watching your channel last year because of all of the cute bento ideas I saw and wanted to make them for my 5 year old. I can only imagine what amazing bento your daughter will have as she grows up! Thank you for making such creative things and sharing them with us! Your channel is awesome! Just felt the need to say thank you.

[@fibisugar]

those wrappers are so cool! and I think the best part about making your own is that you can make the filling however you like :D

[@ochikeron]

+Nataliya Yordanova i think so, too :)

[@kiyoto6569]

I had bought some wrappers today and super excited try them out for hubby’s bento!

[@marsward3823]

ありがとうございます、オチケロン‼︎ ever since I left Japan, I've been craving konbini onigiri like crazy!!! now I can make it!!!

[@inuiiasa_7611]

[@nguyenkrystal7078]

Yassss I was going to say that Aw that was so cute I'm waiting for tha episode 14

[@inuiiasa_7611]

+Nguyễn Dung yesss..me too..and ep.14, 2 hours left to be aired..😍

[@user-fc2hy1qn2j]

普段は、鮭もフレークとかでぱぱっと済ませちゃうけど、焼き鮭でつくるのも美味しそう〜❢今度作って見ます！ 海苔がパリパリのもいいですよね〜

[@JennaNoManga]

I did not know what it was possible to make these that is pretty cool like that!

[@sweetpuppy120489]

OMG So that how it works! That packaging is the amazing idea!!

[@katied232]

I'm so stupid. I never knew how to open those and I end up with broken onigiri lol

[@ochikeron]

+katie deerajviset oh i see, maybe that is why i received many requests for this?! haha

[@mirenye5275]

+ochikeron maybe lol ;)

[@catanarchist25]

Thank you! I became addicted to these while visiting my daughter, who lives in Japan; she lived near a konbini, and I ate one of these every day. Now that I'm back home in the U.S., I have to make them because they're not available here.

[@filippopanasenko6433]

Triangular nori wrapped onigiri looked so TASTY, That's it, I need to make some of my own at home!

[@pipsqueakerdoobie]

Chinese convenience stores had these too, sold them for only $0.30. Gosh I miss eating these.

[@ThePancoon]

Those wrappers would be so useful. I hope they are at the daiso I go to.

[@EuniceLoveletter]

Yes I ate them before. It's great idea to make ourselves and put however much filling we want!

[@technochocolate123]

I like to watch your onigiri videos while I make some for my kids for lunch. It makes it more fun, like we are cooking together :)

[@sesameaj6916]

I always grab a few of these every time I go to Mitsuwa here in Chicsgo. Love 'em, thanks for this, easy enouh to try.

[@KA21601]

OMG I NEED ONE! ^-^ I don't have a konbini, and I can't find any at my local Asian supermarket, so these will be nice to have one day if I can ever find them

[@rhianhatway4056]

wow i like the cover ..nice idea for ONIGIRI

[@cyriewilson3170]

Those wrappers are clever. I've has the tuna and mayo ones in Portland, Oregon.

[@briannaks]

Love your videos, very easy to follow, i live in Fresno California, and love Japanese foods,

[@marthaasami242]

I was waiting for this tutorial for years!. Thank you very much.

[@monmon3681k]

i love your videos ! i went to japan in january and i bought your book there :D i'm so glad and theses onigiri reminds me japan

[@EclipseLovesMe]

here in germany, in berlin I know we also have onigiri packed like that in some convenience stores, mostly organic, filled with avocado and limejuice which also is veeeery goood :)

[@rubychen2635]

I am buying this wrapper in daiso next time I go there

[@duallove6909]

I like to add more seasonings and even beans to the rice plus the filling to add more nutrition. I love onigiri. Thanks. And cool dancing btw!

[@niaZomba]

Omgosh Thank YOU!!! I can't wait to make this I've been seeing this everywhere on videos on Japan and Korea convience stores and I tried make a similar version with smoked salmon and brown rice which was delicious but the seaweed was seapak for sushi and not crispy like yours!

[@crazyneta]

in korea they sell the nori with the wrapper and also they have the triangle mold so its super easier and faster to make this ^^ im addicted to those cute rice balls. my all time favorite is tuna mayo!!

[@clockworklily4943]

I've never bought it but it looks so cute I wanna try

[@edz]

Great video. I now know how to make Onigiri but more importantly how to open the packet. I started eating these when I went to Japan. The 7-Eleven had some great flavours. On a side note I'm amazed at how intricate and beautiful the sandwiches in Japan are. And I lost count on how many different types of beer they have. I even tried a Tomato flavoured beer! Oh, and don't get me started on talking about how amazing the toilets are. I miss Japan!

[@ANNAiSSS]

Omg I love it!!!! I need to buy the sheets so I can take these for school!!!

[@LolBrat123]

Nice jelly filled donuts

[@tom_something]

When I visited Japan for the first time, one of the first things I bought was onigiri from a convenience store, and it came wrapped like this. Before I watched this video, I didn't know that the wrapper actually isolated the nori from the rice and filling. I thought it was just an outer wrapper. I ate it and I had no idea.

[@ochikeron]

Good point!!! You are right 😂👍

[@Heghineh1]

Interesting,Never seen nor tried those Thank you for sharing , I learn so much from this channel :)

[@ochikeron]

+heghineh oh really?! glad i made this video then! hehe

[@juls6087]

Your handwriting is pretty cute 😍

[@ochikeron]

+Julissa Chan you are nice!!! hehe

[@BHStudios01]

We FINALLY started carrying nori sheets at the grocery store I work at! So since I'm dealing with cooking my meals on an insanely tight budget for the next few months, I think I'm going to give making onigiri a shot.

[@suzaineeibrahim3435]

oh my...you are making me so hungry....

[@LiloUkulele]

Amazing video! perfect for lunch on the go...will be making today...thankx!

[@ochikeron]

[@ANNAiSSS]

[@lumeimamatoys]

[@DiomerysRamirez]

Wow, they look very similar to the ones I buy in Seven eleven.

[@silverdawn813]

The first time I bought this, I didn't bother reading the instructions. I almost ate the plastic wrapper because I was so hungry from skipping breakfast and lunch that I didn't care to open it properly! LOL

[@debb0r]

ahh so the plastic forms a barrier between the rice and noriseaweed... ahhh~~ the more you know!

[@meemeelau1838]

❤❤❤ easy and simple. I love it. Thank you for your sharing

[@jaidensupremacy]

I bought a dried pork onigiri and ate it for lunch it tastes so good so I decided I would make my own🌹🌹❤️♥️♥️🔥💯😁😘

[@Paula-so7ow]

Very easy!!!

[@andrewsalvaleon412]

Hellooooo.. So happy to discover this particular video. I thought kombini onigiri is impossible to make. I am actually about to make some in other way.

[@WES6666]

[@cutieartpie]

[@jaom181]

「巻きす」を使わない「手巻き寿司」が1970年代に「発明」されて、海苔がパリッと作り立てが簡単になった。それを74年の日本最初のコンビニがおにぎりに応用したのかな？でも動画を拝見してるとレシピとは「精確」。今までいかに解ってなかったか良く分かるｗ全身で可愛く感情を表現できるお子さんにはダンスはピッタリですネ！

[@ochikeron]

+jaom181 改めて動画で説明すると（これでも説明が足りていない気がするのですが）日本で当たり前のようにしてあるものにも関心が高まりますよね！w ダンスは誰に似て好きなんだろう〜よく踊って歌ってますw

[@jaom181]

+ochikeron 家の仕事を軽く見てたけどw簡単でもありまた限りなく難しい。外と同じでしたw英語と違い具体的な指定が少ない日本語のレシピは一般に初心者には解り難い！柔軟な強い足腰でダンス！去年の今頃はまだ「お食い初めの石ブッ！」の前だったのにネw

[@ochikeron]

jaom181 そうですね〜。そして昨年は雛人形を飾りましたが今年はわんぱく娘なので壁に貼るくらいしかできないです（爆）

[@jaom181]

+ochikeron 今年はお雛様の着物を引っ張ったりしてネw来年は大丈夫。でも、わんぱくな感情も行為も成長の一切の基礎。それがなければ何も始まりません！

[@grmpyland]

danggg i really miss family mart and lawson :(

sooo gooood 😍😋🍙

[@user-xx7pg3vw9k]

OMG, so cute!

[@leylafashion]

[@thatoneasshat]

I really like onigiri. It's just a shame that we don't really have any stores that carry them in the town I live in.

[@n1karenee]

The picked plums look like balls.

[@beemobile98]

Your daughter is so cute!

[@acexkeikai]

I love Ume okaka... do you have a recipe for it?

[@jackyexhanfranco7621]

I love it so much.... It is a good video!!!

[@katringlass2140]

thank you for this! :DD

[@isi5607]

Woah, this looks really similar to triangle kimbap, but this is probably the original

[@ross1972]

かわいいあかちゃん

[@mermaidboobies]

Speaking of convenience store onigiri, are there any tricks to keeping the rice soft even when it's cold? Every time I've made onigiri at home, if I don't eat it all right away and refrigerate some, the rice gets sort of hard and dry. Maybe adding a little extra water when cooking the rice will help?

[@inthemint5912]

if you want to heat it up. cover it with foil, before that spray a little water in the foil and wrap the onigiri. heat in the oven for 20-30 seconds

[@LitcheTheArsm]

+Sara Schultz i'd try covering the rice with plastic wrap so it's not exposed to air when storing it and see if that helps. more water will just turn the rice into porridge instead. :P

[@inthemint5912]

+LitcheTheArsm hahahahha 😂😂😂

[@mermaidboobies]

+LitcheTheArsm I mean like an extra tablespoon or two probably would be fine but yeah I'm thinking trying to keep them airtight/sealed would probably help!

[@adbreon]

Don't refrigerate the rice. There really isn't a home cooking method for japonica rice that will allow you to refrigerate it without the starches hardening.

[@reanna358]

Did you purposely wear two different earing?

[@xCAROLoveify]

AAACK I should have watched earlier T.T is the wrapper giveaway over??

[@catfaceguy8686]

This is great! Now.. how do you make pickled plums??

[@elphideus]

Last time I went to Japan I bought some Onigiris from Konbini (Family Mart; awesome place!!) and I messed up when trying to open the packaging XD Tearing the nori away with the plastic T_T I really really loved the natto flavoured one!! Love Japan lots ♥
