I usually use canned salmon in my onigiri, since my family is from a fishing village and we often have home-canned sockeye in the pantry

[@spiderbirdiespiderbidie1807]

I'm so hungry now. I want to try the salmon one with hot smoked rainbow trout. Can't wait to try them all. Thank you so much as always.

[@CHEFSLABO]

No worries spiderbirdie!! I'm glad that I could inspire you!!😉👍

[@KardoganLR]

Thank you very much for English and Japanese texts! It's great to learn some more Japanese!

[@barucheven4128]

I just made the Salmon Onigiri and it was great, it's not easy to get the ingredients here so I used a bit more of the Kombu and without Bonito flakes. It still tastes great. I found where I can get Bonito flakes a bit late for this batch but will have it next time. Thanks for the recipe and the great instructions!

[@sdb9884]

Thank you for the tip of having salt on your hands to reduce stickiness! This has been my biggest issue with trying to make onigiri.

[@3분로미요리]

It's a video that calms me down just by watching it😀

It's my first time seeing Nikumaki! Looks amazing

[@CHEFSLABO]

It is a very common dish in Japan!! Hope you will try it soon JM GA!!😉👍

[@mrCetus]

I love Japanese culture and food so much, I really want to start trying to perfect some of the cuisine

[@Generalmegazord]

I love that poaching technique for salmon ! It's perfect since there's no need for caramelisation, and no smell in the kitchen ... Those nikumaki look amazing 🤤 Thank you chef !

[@CHEFSLABO]

No worries Generalmegazord!! They are all pretty good for Bento too!!😉 Thanks again for the comment👍

[@Eenfidel]

[@juanm.handal1213]

excellent presentation, clear details and guidance, I feel like getting up and preparing this right now

[@lelouchlamperouge3077]

In Indonesia, this type of rice usually called 'lemper', using sticky rice, or 'arem-arem' if you use regular rice.

[@natsu7352]

The visuals are immaculate. Great job!

[@eruditocollective]

Yo, the nikumaki almost made me lose my mind with how good they look. Amazing, Chef!

[@CHEFSLABO]

Thanks Kenneth!! Yeah especially the last one (Nikumaki Onigiri) is very popular in Japan. Hope you'll try it soon!!😉👍

[@mummycookshomemade]

This looks so delicious ❤

[@CHEFSLABO]

Thanks mummy cooks homemad!! Hope you will try it soon!!😉👍

[@MisterNightfish]

I will definitely try this over the weekend, especially since I asked about onigiri on your last video :D What a coincidence! The meatwrapped variant also looks very interesting, although I might have to explain to my butcher how to cut the meat, that's not something they have by default here. (update: made the meat wrapped and the salmon filled ones, they were both fantastic!)

[@qweqwe1324]

IDK where you're from but I'm 1/2 European 1/2 American and "pork belly thin sliced" is everywhere, especially Korean Grocery stores like H-mart, otherwise you just use unsmoked, uncured bacon that's also thin sliced. You wouldn't want to make this with beef or anything like that...

[@MisterNightfish]

@@qweqwe1324 Well, what you can get locally always depends on what people buy. Especially if you don't live in a big city, it can be tricky. Certain cuts of meat and even types (such as horse or mutton) that people will barely ever ask for are not commonly sold as a result. Several japanese recipes that I've seen used minced chicken meat and I would be gobsmacked if any butcher in a 100 mile radius of where I live has ever been asked for that. That said, if you talk to people and ask nicely, they will pretty much always try to accomodate you. My butcher had no problem replicating the cut of meat I needed for this recipe, and if I preorder it, I can also get chicken mince and anything else I need.

[@ElDiabl0187]

That wa outstanding

[@onzeeotherside3848]

"It lasts a few days in the fridge." ...well, not in my household. Too yummy :)

[@cybersteampunk]

That wrapped onigiri is next level! These must be lots better than the combini bought ones and I love them.

[@CHEFSLABO]

No worries cybersteampunk!! That is very common dish in Japan! So please try it when you can!!😉👍

[@cybersteampunk]

@@CHEFSLABO I will try making some, I tried before but it wasn't as good as the ones from Japan lol.

[@davidjames2684]

​@CHEFSLABO could I use bacon on the meat wrapped ones? Maybe not salt the hands to compensate?

[@kierenkowe]

I made the salmon mayo one today and its so good ;u;

[@somesoaringstellars]

Totally gonna practice these for a long time. I always find it difficult to make my onigiri rice stay in shape. Too bad, guess the lunch bentos gonna be the same for the next few weeks till I master this.

[@kalisto69jade]

OMG, I’m so hungry now. I haven’t had Japanese food in decades since I live in an area that is an ethnic food desert! Hard even to get cooking supplies. The different varieties look fantastic! I may just have to buckle down and do these myself. 😁❤️

[@kenjifox4264]

What restaurants are around you?

[@SuzanneWho]

@@kenjifox4264 The only ethnic food we have here is buffet style Chinese (not that good either). That’s it, everything else is semi-southern food. I used to live in San Francisco and was used to being able to get many ethnic varieties of really good food. REALLY miss the food - was a lot healthier too!

Hablen bien no entiendo lo que dicen

[@Zebula1918]

and why not cook the salmon in a steamer basket? I do not understand this cooking in plastic bag .. how did the ancestors do? maybe they used leaves or algae but in any case not plastic with everything we know today about its misdeeds

[@leonsekitten]

Im gonna ask you to delete this video its illegal to be this good at cooking, put your hands up!! 🔫😡

[@The-Secret-Dragon]

This is an awful lot of work for what it's essentially supposed to be the Japanese alternative to a a sandwich. Far simpler to just buy tinned salmon. Also not sure if the health implications of boiling a plastic bag like that with your food.

[@ppicci]

freezer bag cooking is absolutely safe, you eat from heated plastic everyday lol and if you're smart enough you can optimize every process shown in the video like preparing rice in advance/having a rice cooker, making it less fancy with simpler fillings and buying a onigiri mould

[@grumpyoldman9259]

If you don’t want the fishy taste. Cut out all that grey/brown flesh, or blood in the main bone.
