Short grain brown rice can be used instead of white sushi rice. Use 1½ cups of brown rice, 2¼ cups of water, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook the rice for 50 minutes, remove from the heat, and steam for 10 more minutes. Instead of salmon, stuff onigiri with smoked or canned sardines, tuna, herring, trout or mussels.
Shape your onigiri while the rice is still warm. If using a mold, wet the inside of the mold and, using wet hands, fill it about halfway with rice. Make an indentation in the middle of the rice with your thumb and add your filling, about a tablespoon or so.
Add more rice on top to fill the mold.Place the steamed rice in your hand and form into a triangle, making sure it is dense and thick. Put your favorite filling, such as umeboshi or grilled salmon, on the rice and push the filling into the rice lightly.
Hold the rice between your palms.Put some rice in a rice bowl. Wet hands with water and add salt. Place rice in one hand, press and form into a triangle shape.
Make a well in the middle of the rice ball and put in Katsuobushi mixture. Close the well. Reshape and wrap with a sheet of roasted seaweed.
Wet your hands with water and rub together with a pinch or two of salt. This’ll stop the rice sticking to your hands. Pick up one handful/portion of rice. If you are putting something inside, here is where you make an indent, place the ingredients inside and.Take a small handful of the warm cooked rice in one hand.
With the other hand make an indentation, and into this stuff some of the chosen fillings. Work the rice around the filling and shape into the traditional shapes: spheres, triangles or cylinders. If you apply too much pressure the filling will squish out.Put one kind of fillings (about 1-2 tsp.) inside. Then mold the rice with your hands around the well to cover your filling completely. Press the rice around the filling to gently form the rice into a triangle.
I use three fingers (thumb, index finger, middle finger) to make a triangle corner.Combine rice, 2 1/2 cups water, sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large nonstick pot over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cover and cook until water is absorbed and rice is soft and sticky, about 15 minutes. Stir in soy sauce. Step 3.
Ingredients 4 cups uncooked short-grain white rice 4 ½ cups water 1 cup water ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ cup bonito shavings (dry fish flakes) 2 sheets nori (dry.How To Prepare Begin by cooking the Japanese rice according to your favourite method. With a small amount of salt sprinkled on your hands, mould the rice into small balls or.
Place your rice in a rice cooker, and then add 3 cups of water. Allow the rice to soak in water for around 30 minutes, and then start your cooker. As the rice cooks, put all your prepped toppings in different bowls. Once your rice is cooked, allow it to steam for an additional 15 minutes.The rice in an onigiri is molded into four shapes, triangular, oval or round and tawara, a shape that looks like a bale of rice.
Out of these four, triangle is the most common shape. The triangle shape resembles a mountain and symbolizes a connection with kami, Japanese.Whether you call them Onigiri おにぎり or musubi, there’s a lot to love about Japanese rice balls!

Thank you! They look amazing and I’m dying to try them!
Just one question, can I use any type of vinegar?
I wonder if you could add some flavorless bone broth to givevit a little protein.
I tried this the other day because I’ve been craving onigiri for a while now. The family loved it! Thank you ��
They don’t sell onigiri seasoning where I’m from. How can I make it?
Hey man, just found this channel, and been binge watching the vids for a few days. These are some of the best recipees of japanese/asian food you are making, and I love the vids. instant sub! incredibly soothing and informative
It’s called “chicken of the sea” because in the U.S. there’s a big famous brand of canned tuna which is called “chicken of the sea” eventhough they’re selling canned tuna.
Hello, can I ask where you got those onigiri molds? I’ve checked amazon but I like the ones you use better. Thanks!
Oml i so need to cook this!! My mom bought jasmine rice and i’ll soon learn to cook this! You got to the point and started cooking in a split second! Your steps were detailed and specific. You also put out different types of rice in case if i wanna try different things! Your a good cook and i support you!
guise all just make spicy garlic Onigiri since I live in the middle of nowhere and I can only find a Japanese store that sells Onigiri product a state over.
I’m in Norway and I was like “gee, I’m never gonna find furikake good thing there’s a recipe for it!”
now I’m like “gee, I’m never going to find ingredients for furikake” ^^’
jokes aside, love your videos!
i clicked on this because im hungry but suddenly did not expect i’ll crying too,so inspiring!
Thanks for posting this. As a Detroit lady with little exposure to authentic Japanese food, I tried to make these a few time and while they are tasty, I wasn’t sure if they were ‘correct’. This makes me feel more confident with my rice balls.
The way you say AND NOW IT’S DONE! is giving me hope in life.
I am making it without seasoning cuz I don’t have any and I’m in lock down….
Nice to see you using both kombu and shirmp for your Furikake edit: could you add dry chilli to it?
The recipes looks so delicious! I should show this to my mom! You also did a well job speaking English. I know it can be hard to speak another language, but I could understand you fluently! You also did a really good job making those onigiris! ������
That’s a lot of rice ������ I used only 2 cups because the sushi rice package I got, had so little rice…
This gave me an idea to have fast meal beacuse I can prepare it early and when i get hungry i can just get my prepared food from fridge.
Oh man, I’m just watching this from Afghanistan and I can’t wait to get back home into a kitchen. I cook, like a lot when I’m home. Mainly Japanese dishes (I’m not Japanese, but the food is so good) and it takes a little bit of time and skill to make and it feels really good when I sit back and see a beautiful traditional breakfast.
What rice did you use? Japonica I assume. I just used Jasmine. It sticks as well. ^^!
I don’t think I’ll be able to shape it into triangle. �� And btw, onigiri will be my last resort in cass food runs out. Hahahahahaha. #HomeQuarantine #LetsFightCovidTogether
Is it okay to skip on the salt or is there something I can replace it with? I tried it but it was extremely salty.
i forced my shelf after that video dont stop to spam me soo i had to plug a dislike:(
This seems like an easy thing i would make on a daily basis lol
I’m a little confused. Is the rice not sushi rice except for the California roll? It’s only seasoned with salt?
If you ever make dashi using bonito flakes, keep the leftover to make furikake.
Can you provide a link to where I can buy this mould? Doing this by hand takes forever SMH lol
I have been brought by cooking too much rice. God help me, I have 3 pans of it
This was interesting. I’m gonna try making some. Does the rice have to be sticky, or non sticky?
Respected madam,
I offer my gratitude to you. Your work is not complete. I am giving you some job. Some recipe which I know I will send you.
As you say you know test of most community food. Now work for vegan or non vegan, vegetarian rice ball. In pendamic many children are suffering without nonveg. We need to teach our children to eat vagan or vegetarian food. Let us check your recipes. Let’s us remember you as rice ball mother. You know 55 types of recipe. So please spend some time to give best to world.
With lots of respect to you.
Namh shivay.
Ochikeron?
Do you know what is Mayonnaise and Mochi?!? Please tell the recipe…I want to make Japanese foods too…
“You look kinda down Ash! Have a doughnut that always cheers me up!”
“Pikapika”
“These doughnuts are great! Jelly filled are my fav!! Nothing can beat a jelly filled doughnut!”
Can these be made ahead of time and refrigerate for the next day?
Ohhh. I am so doing this. I am so in love with Japanese culture. But I was born in a different country ��
Oh yeah and Xanadu. ��
Hunger brought me here!
Happy Onigiri will meet his destiny soon!
i die everytime with the nori smiley face it’s so cute ������
if you dont have a blitzer can you crush the Furikake ingredients with a mortar and pestle or would a blender also work?
I hope to make these and Ochazuke soon! Thank you for a wonderful video.
This recipe was amazing i am 13 years old and i made it by myself it was so easy and it tasted great.❤
My grandma used to use salted water instead of adding salt to your hands. More uniform flavor???
I make mine with imitated crab mixed with mayo and cream cheese filling and it tastesss so delicious ����
I tried this myself and they taste great I filled them with small sliced strawberries and raisins and baked sweet potatoes and some cubed grilled ham cooked in soy sauce as I did not have plums or the other ingredients. also they did not stay together great for me until after I put them in the fridge for a little bit. It was more challenging then I thought but they turned out delicious. I boiled the rice on the stove is it easier with a rice cooker?
I have small hands! I made some this afternoon and they were so small! I’m soaking my rice now to make some again. Will try to make them bigger. My husband binge watched Paolo in Tokyo and he’s craving Japanese food now. Hahaha.
6:40 “Of course you can use… (pauses) normal pan.” She meant to say, “Of course you can use normal pan, if you are a cretin or a barbarian ” ^^!
But seriously, what kind of pan is that? Just a squared cast iron pan? How is it spelled in English or shown in Japanese? Thank you.
I have to admit, this is my first time seeing a fast-talking japanese. ��
Nahh Nah Nah, This isnt Onigiri these are Jelly Filled Donuts. I learned that watching Pokemon!
the amount of water that was sacrificed, man………(jk btw)
when you at work and you should be working but instead youre watching food videos
Just made sushi for my first time turned out pretty great but wow this looks great
its called sea chicken because tuna taste like chicken so tuna is the chicken of the sea:p
How do you know what is a high quality nori? I don’t want to assume that it is just having a shinny side and rough side.
just tried this and it was SO GOOD. even better with some avocado. thanks for the recipe:)
I love how this isnt a 20 min video of just random talking but instead straight to the point
Whats the leaf that wraps the salmon? ありがとございます for the recipes (how can I say that in japanese? ‘n.n )
omg.. i need this product in my life, where di you get it? such a cute vid!
Cook the rice and toss lightly
Me: yeets it out the window but lightly
my favourite food while i was in tokyo was grilled onigiri…
I seen on dif. video that the shiny side of seaweed stays on the outside, the ruff side touches the rice.. Seems like a lot of salt… But can’t wait to try.. Love this tnx!
Can I easily identify Onigiries without fish in japan?.i don’t like them
This video was so nice and fun to watch I for sure will make this one day
Me last last year:i wonder what are these for
All of those were esten for their non purpose
watches this video
I HAD ALL THE INGREDIENTS
HAD
HAD
HAD
My 2nd grader is currently obsessed with the anime “Naruto,” so we’ve been experimenting with the foods we see on the show during our lock down. I live in rural Wisconsin, USA, so I haven’t been able to get my hands on very many authentic ingredients yet, but these rice balls were a huge hit with the whole family all the same. We look forward to making them often. Thank you so much for sharing these recipes and for making quarantine a little brighter ��
What kind of rice is that? Just plain white or something els? I’m very clueless pls send help.
This lady just be the Tsunade of real life from Naruto because she doesn’t look 60
came here coz i’m bored at home and i’m a die-hard anime fan (just say weeb dumbass) and i want to try japanese cuisines.
I have been dying to learn to make this. It isn’t as complicated as I thought. Thank you!
I just take ‘takeout food’ and take the rice to make it into a ball lol
Do you just keep the rice there when you offer the rice to your ancestors??
Looks really great, I’ve got to try that out, thanks for sharing ����
That’s so many unhealthy ingredients. I would stick to spices rice and raw, fish. Vinegar maybe.
Fucking soy will make you unfertile.
Your video is informational, short and sweet. I learned not only how to cook but also some of your culture like using rice cloudy water for plants and offering of rice to ancestors.
By the way, I came here out of curiosity seeing an anime a character eating this rice balls XD
Did this woman literally said Japanese everyday hood lmao
The rice water is also good for hair growth, if you don’t have any plants:)
Okay now I’m ready to become an employee of osamu miya’s onigiri shop
I didn’t even know real and fake music existed. I think it’s your fault for like, putting that shit into categories.
If anyone is having trouble finding dark soy sauce, try your local 99 cent store. Oddly enough that’s the only place I can find it here in Tucson short of the Asian market, but it’s muuuuch more expensive there.
Great video!
So that is why moms (or dads) wake up so early for their children’s lunchbox onigiri does not go into the fridge. Respect
Healthy and easy to prepare. This is perfect for school and office, share more about Japanese recipes. Thank you.
Best recipe for onigiri that I’ve seen! They are usually pretty bland but this one was very flavorful
Where did you buy an onigiri form like this? I want one as well:)
that’s why people like her food maybe… she make onigiri with love and she dedicate herself for making onigiri bongo with unique taste
I didn’t have any of these ingredients, so I improvised. I had the rice, but I used calamari, spicy mayo with some lettuce and turned it into a burrito. It was pretty good.
I like to make a mixture of a tuna base (without mayo) for some onigiri, I feel my tuna/mayo mix are always to liquid-y, its hard to get centered into the rice ball, maybe I should just mix it all up with the rice like he does with the furikake?
Too bad i probably would starve in japan.. i am highly alergic to fish protein.. curse you bonito flakes!
dont mind me.. im just taking down notes
dark soy sauce
mirin
sake
sugar
salmon
rice wine
furikake/crack on rice
i am inspired to have these at the ready as gamer foods inbetween matches or ready to bring as a snackable picnic treat in the car in a cold insulated lunch bag while as I wait for my car to charge at an electric station as I watch YT videos on the dashboard, id probably add a travel sealed container of soysauce and wasabi for dipping, perfect presentation to keep each segment dry just before dunking. Im feeling this is the new asian themed on the go handheld for modern times. Simple, neat, filling, minimalist,flavorfull and quick to prep. Good Recipe, seems like the future, yet everything is found in the past.
this is my second time watching this video bc once again I’m trying to make onigiri (really love your recipe!) and I felt I really needed to say: your hands are so beautiful!
These donuts are great jelly filled are my favorite nothing beats a jelly filled donut
im doing this for my mom so she will be less angry when i tell her about my grades (im Asian so you know the deal)
I’ve watched enough pokemon to know they’re called J E L L Y D O N U T S
I usually buy them from the convenience store because I can’t cook
Could you out a link where you can buy the mold you used in the video.
Why am I here at 11:00 am?
yeah idk either
But I loved the video! It was super helpful!!
Does the seawead or lettuce get too wet overnight? Can I prepare it in the evening and have it for the next day’s lunch?
Hahaha food glue. I used rice as glue on my science project when I couldn’t find any glue stick
Where can I buy that onigiri mold? I’m not seeing it on Amazon. Thank you!
Another great recipe & tips! I’m amazed that furikake is easy to make. Thanks
I liked this a lot! I always wondered how the rice gets flavoured. Now I know. Thank you!
All i was here for was how to make it stay closed/fold nori. That Ricecorn was not what I expected. Genius. Thanks
Here in Philippines they add magic sarap not like in japan very tasty and yet healthy
Hey Philippines stop being a cancer and be like Japan
Great walk through and explanation. I look forward to your other videos. Thank you for informing us of each step, with such a cute, accented voice. I…… I think…. I think I….. Suki Da…..
Thanks, this looks simpler mixing all the ingredients together
Does Rice balls �� has a taste? It’s because, normal rice �� doesn’t have taste.
����
Have you been looking at my browsing history? In the last week I’ve probably fished around for onigiri prep and filling ideas ten times!
I made spam and egg onigiri
taste good, should have used rice instead of bread though
rice always comes off my onigiri and the become messy losing rice????:/
Great video! You did a great job! I am going to make some salmon onigiri this weekend using your recipe.
awh man this looks good! Been trying to find an easy to make portable food (that isn’t terrible for you) for my work onigiri looks like a great option. Any tips on how to store it and take it somewhere? thanks ^^
Love all the videos! Just had to smirk about Adam telling us how to make Furikake in case it’s not available and then goes on to list multiple ingredients that are even harder to find ^^’
These donuts are GREAT! Jelly filled are my favorite. Nothing beats a Jelly Filled Donut!
I used to have onigiri as a kid and i think i had freshwater eel in it or something idk
Is the rice the same thing as of an onigiri? Or is it prepared differently?
Am I the only one who’s obsession started with being an otaku
it’s very good! but, I have a question as for the soy sauce, how can I find a gluten free alternative? I’m living in Taiwan, but haven’t found any sauce that is gluten free
thank you very much for this informative video i have learned so much in such a short time. thanks again
Gonna have to go back to the market and get some furikake for when I make onigiri tomorrow.
This is probably going to sound dumb. But what is mirin? Is there an English word for it?
Do you have to make these the day your going to eat it or a day before?
I tend to go for a pyramid shape since I like to make some salmon mayo filling for these.
I see some guides use vinegar instead of water or is it for different recipe? Great video fast and efficient! ��
It’s a bit strange to use vinegar for Onigiri in Japan though it still looks yummy:P
This gim/nori are toasted? I see so many in doramas that look like so crunchiest.
Thank you so much for the recipes this really helped me learn more food ❤
where did u get the onigiri mold and mini whisk?
they are super kawaii >3
Thank you so much…when I made this…it doesn’t look like a triangle..it’s. More like a square but…the flavor is amazing and the best ❤️❤️❤️
I’m going to make this, bring this to school and make everyone jealous. I’m going to use tuna. I’m sure tuna can stay unspoiled in the fridge for 3 days (without having to microwave)
These look so delicious! I loved watching you make all of them. You shirt was pretty awesome, too. Thanks for sharing this video.
I would like to commend you for shaping it so perfectly�� I tried making this just a while ago, and I had a really hard time shaping it into a triangle��
I made the three of them, I couldn’t find the fly fish but it was still tasty
if i make it in the night, can it last until morning? or i need to put it on freezer and heat it in the morning?
I have been craving for this and i think trying this will be worthit��. And thanks for sharing how to do it❤
I like.. no, I LOVE sushi ��������
Of course also like onigiri… ������ (Tuna mayo)
How long can I keep one at room temp wrapped in a convenience store style wrapper? I wanna take one for lunch at work but don’t want it to get hard in the fridge…:)
What a wonderful beautiful woman with a great outlook on life.
these doughnuts are great jelly-filled are my favorite nothing beats a jelly-filled doughnut
There is always going to be a least one comment about pokemon jelly filled doughnuts
Besides the back side and the shiny side of the seaweed does it have any other function besides looks or it really is just there for looks.
Hi Yoshimi! I’m new to your channel (just subscribed)!
How much rice did you use in this video to make onigiri?
Also if I want to make this ahead for a full week for lunches what’s the best way to store? Thanks again!!:)
When I lived in Japan these was my daily foods. ^^ My mother still pours the cloudy water in our plants.
Im watching this in 2020 and was like the song In the beginning was so nostalgic
I wanted to try making my hand at making Onigiri. After watching a few videos this one had the best instructions, so ready to make my own now.
何の効果か色が不気味で黄色？のブニャブニャが何の具かわからないw
でも美味しそうなので明後日はおにぎり食べよう。ソーセージ焼いて卵焼き焼いて豚汁も作ろう
white tuna is called sea chicken because it’s versatile and mild flavored
Basically, this is a huge sushi roll. Love the idea. Thanks for the video.
I think it is called sea chicken is bc chicken is very common. so it means “chicken from the sea.”
Lived in Japan for 5 years. A little game I played, just randomly pick a couple Onigiri for lunch/dinner. See what you get. (The onigiri I bought were half the size of the ones he’s making, those are massive rice sandwiches). My favorite was fish eggs, I would of never picked fish eggs for dinner. But luck of the draw, got some, took a big bite, and after the horror….. learned I liked them, a lot.
Its like a vitamin E pill, with a salty citrus twang. Mixes well with the rice.
Yummy, I want to try this, thank you for sharing, keep safe and God bless ��
My grandma used to make onigiri for me after school when I was a kid. She didn’t speak English so I would imitate making a rice ball when I wanted some. Nice memories. Watching the umibashi is making my mouth water, too sowa & salty!
Mhhh delish, want to make this myself also. But to find these products in Europe/Belgium?
Someday i will go to Japan and for sure i will eat 2 or 3 of Bongo Onigiri
I want to eat
Ikura
Salmon Mayo
And the Original One
How can I make with riced cauliflower? I’ve been going low carb for a month, lost 8lbs and I want these but also to keep my diet. I’m wondering how possible to get the cauliflower to stick like rice….hmmmm
Ooh you are the only person I have ever seen washig their hands on a cooking vid. Most the people I know don’t do that,:( even tho is just basic hygiene XD anyway great video! I’ll try them all this week!
We should send those looters in the “hood” to Japan for a year, and hopefull they will be better persons.
I love to make these rice sandwiches for my kids and
husband, they eat them for lunch, it’s filling and delicious. Very easy
to store them too:) https://amzn.to/2U8LhVv
They look delicious, I just need to hunt down some of those ingredients.
Loved it! Every comment you made was going through my head at the exact same time… except the sugar. Finger in sugar pot? Silly goose.
You need to be carfull, because you shouldn’t eat to much nori.
Omg brilliant I’m gonna do bizniz for this awesome we filipino love rice and it’s kinda social style love love loving it
I make rice balls like these sandwiches sometimes. Also, I make rice balls like sushi haha. I take sashimi or tuna and stuff it in the rice balls as if I were making tiny one bite sushi pieces. I want to try this one.
what is the name of the mold you are using, and where can i buy it? thank you
Is onigiri Japanese? I just got done making Korean triangle kimbap and it looks like the same thing.
Of all the cooking channels out there, i dnt know why i feel at home on this one. ��✨
I want the sandwiches and the T-shirt. I will have to adapt some for my allergies but what a great way to sandwich without bread as I am allergic to wheat! I am also allergic to eggs, so no mayonnaise or fake crab meat for me, and so many other things but this is a great starting point
That’s a kind of knife a Bleach character would carry around
I really love your video. It’s so relaxing, motivating and easy to understand!
This looks yummy. Where do you get Furikake and what is it?
first video i saw of you an i love it! and i like the t-shirt you are waring! from where is it?
So easy to make and delicious looking,thank you for sharing.
This donuts are great! Jelly filled are my favorite! Nothing beats a jelly filled donut!
Called sea chicken coz the tuna is from the sea and the texture is like chicken�� its nice name though. SEA CHICKEN hahaha
Oh this is so lovely! I tried Onigiri once and it’s been on my mind ever since because I thought it would make a nice change from my usual packed lunches. Thank you for teaching us how to make lots of different types of onigiri!
You just have the most soothing voice and the music compliments it wonderfully
Starkist brand canned tuna was first advertised by saying that it is the chicken of the Sea. Starkist brand is the most popular in the USA.
hii!! i’m new to the channel and i liked this and your other videos!! ^-^
and i was wondering if, is it okay to not use a ‘Japanese Rice’? because i seem to notice that Japanese Rice is more circular and chubby compared to the rice we have, which is long and oblong-ish shape. Thank you!!!
看起來好好吃哦我好想要吃壽司哦！……但是有海苔海菜類的東西我都不能吃有，誰能夠把壽司都改成不要有海苔只要飯和裡面的料就好，超級想吃所有壽司裡面的料而不是我就只能吃稻香或是其他海鮮類的��我想吃只有我能吃的壽司啦。
Is the Rice just steamed, nothing added, or seasoned for Sushi? Thanks for the Recipe!:-)
Now I know why my onigiri were rubbish and fell apart. I’d put them in the fridge overnight. Always learn some thing new from these videos. Thanks
Why can’t you just eat a bowl of rice with the veggies and meat on the side?
Nice but rice too much You are using Authentic Japanese ingredients including rice?
How do you store it so it wont get soggy? When i eat it it always gets soggy. Is it because i put it in the refrigerator and reheat it? But when i put it in a bento box it also gets soggy
I searched it in google but it didn’t clarify it properly and only said its because of the moisture? Please help
The reason they call it sea chicken, is because fried chicken is very popular in japan, how ever it’s loaded down in calories, ect, and to some, they consider tuna with the mayo to have a bit of chicken flavor like thing going on, and tuna is a far more healthier option, while enjoying the taste of chicken.
Hi Dan: after opening a packet of nori sushi sheets do you simply re-seal to store? Should they go in freezer to keep them from getting humid and soft?
This is it! �� I’ve originally looked up recipes for cali maki and onigiri, but I’m glad I found this gem. It seems the easiest to bring anywhere without worrying if it’ll break apart, because it’s neatly wrapped and shaped. Plus, your imagination is the limit when it comes to thinking of fillings. Thank you! ❤️
I wouldnt mind eating the onigiri even if you licked your finger
Hello. In Japanese onigiri salmon is not marinated with a sweet soy sauce mixture, but is just salted and sometimes with MSG added as a preservative.
So when zoro from one piece does his onigiri style hes talking about food?
Such a nice voice. Her bright personality is clearly evident.
“But i’m putting a smiley face so it’s happy”
that is so kawaii
This is the most soothing video I’ve watched in a long time. Reminds me a bit of watching Bob Ross. Incredible job!
Lol I like how when he talked about tuna being called sea chicken I just imaged Jessica Simpson quaking on her couch.������
What’s incredible about your videos is that absolutely everything seams clear with your explanations. It make them really enjoyables to watch.
I have purchased lots of furikake, shrimp, chicken vedge, egg and so on they are great if you do not want just a plain rice. The recipe is golden, thanks.
Thanks Adam, really appreciate your time showing us this. ����
I think u can just make a rice sandwich if u dont have a mold and cover it up with seaweed
Congratulations. You have made a revolutionary type of おにぎり. I like very much japanese cooking and I was a season in Japan years before. Best wishes from Spain.
great recipe, thanks dude. when i was making it, my mom asked what it was and she said it sounded interesting when i explained what it was. when i was finished making the furikake, i asked her if she wanted to try a pinch of it, and after tasting it, she remembered back in the 90’s, at a job she used to work at, she had a japanese coworker who moved to the US from japan, and she would bring her own home cooked meals for lunch. she let my mom try a piece of her onigiri once, and she said that this furikake i made using your recipe, tasted exactly like the stuff she’d tried that one time over two decades ago. to me, that sounds like a pretty authentic recipe. i’m not into super fishy flavors generally, but even for me, the finished onigiri (with tuna filling and furikake seasoned rice) was delicious and i could see myself eating it any time
also, a quick tip for anyone who wants to make this and isn’t sure how much rice to make, i used 2 cups of sushi rice to make 4 cups of cooked rice, and this was enough to make 5 onigiri. the furikake recipe is enough to season 3-4 portions of 4 cups of rice, depending on how strong you want the flavor to be, so in theory you could make anywhere from 15 to 20 onigiri with the amount of furikake the recipe makes
Thank you for your video. Subbed ���� Inuyasha brought me here. They were eating rice balls had to look to see if I can make em! Gonna try to make them happy too! ��
I wonder what it taste like I’m a Filipino our staple food is rice I’m thinking of making this.
I like how you use parchment paper so you don’t have to do the dishes��
That triangle thing looks so handy! When I make onigiri I can just make them into balls.:P
Is the type of rice important? For example, could I use jasmine rice for my onigiri?
Love your videos but gotta say, overly laid-back ambient music always makes me think my tinnitus is acting up
Spot on…Adam is multi talented we follow him in Canada…Ichiban hito
It’s one in the morning and I’m here watching how to make onigiri even ctho I make it at least once a week… Look at what quarantine is doing to meㅠㅠ. Jokes aside, stay safe every one and eat healthy��
I don’t know who you are but i’m an instant fan… love the way you speak and teach, subscribed
In Czech Republic I might get the wright kind of rice and salmon, but I hate the taste. No meat for me. Our national like a Life presentation is bread and salt, honey and milk presents the riches of a country or at liest used to. And we are the potato country, I love rice, but hot not cold. These triangles are just so perfect. I also made a dango, but the taste was not what I expected. I think you just can´t simply overwrite what you have bee brought upon on. But I love the miso soup, teriaki and tempura.
Looks tasty but the nori doesn’t seem like the best stuff for outside a sandwhich… I’ve found the tension strength on nori can be pretty high when its not brittle/dry.
Which I imagine may end up with me taking a bite and having all the interior ingredients squish out of the sandwhich and rice before the nori breaks off a clean bite.
imma deep fry these in lard and eat it with gravy like a true American.
Yesterday, on New Year’s Eve, me and a bunch of friends have decided to go for a Japanese takeaway, we also have ordered some onigiri, which were something absolutely new for me, and they were delicious.
Now I’d also like trying making them at home.
Did this. Twice. AWESOME! Shaping it… is killin’ me… But I am closer with every piece I am shaping. Bought the good Furikake, of course. Best is simple, salt only. Cast iron, timer… recipe to the second… EASY.
When you are not using Furikake I think it is much better to dissolve the salt in the water. This way the Onigiri are more evenly seasoned and you dont risk biting on a chunk of salt.
I miss being able to just walk into a 7/11 or a Lawsons and being able to get some Onigiri: (
Will definitely give it a go!
Cool love those simple dish, I will try to make some too… for my family and friends. Thank you for the tips Chef Dai.
love the channel, love the content, you’re a great presenter; the music sounds like an appliance humming the next room over, its distracting and annoying.
You should’ve made tuna and chili mayo, that’s my (and apparently japan’s) favourite.
There is a paradox to this recipe. Because if you’re living in an area that you can access shio konbu and bonito and ao nori; you sure as hell live in an area that sells furikake. Just saying. But it’s fascinating to learn what actually goes into furikake and it’s a really soothing video.
Might as well learn it now then never! Going into highschool in a year and a couple months and I’ll need better lunch making skillslol
(also perk of pretending I’m in an anime teehee-)
I’m making sweet origiri which is just sugar in my rice since that’s how I eat rice ( by the way its very difficult to make a triangle)
I will never stop licking my finger when making this delicious food
Hiii, loved the video. I was just wondering what type of rice/s can be used to make onigiri, or is there a specific rice to make it with?:)
Ok I’m addicted to your channel and I hear by appropriate your recipes and methods for New England because there is no such thing as an Asian market within 50 miles of me. So I’m gonna have to localize them. Great videos I’m making my version of your Ramen broth as we speak
I forgot that onigiri was an actual food cuz I was looking for zoro’s onigiri scenes
Could I use crab stick instead of tuna? Or spicy black beans? Great video by the way.
thx for this. there’s a place in los angeles called sunny blue that makes these, but they are expensive like $5 each or something. i’m gonna make these myself. yum.
ついこの間TVで元気そうな旦那さん見たけど亡くなられたのか…
凄い謙虚で優しい旦那さんだったなー
海外からおにぎりを学びに来た人が帰国する際に最後のテストとして握ったおにぎりを美味しい美味しいと笑顔で食べてる姿が物凄く素敵でした✨
ご冥福をお祈りします��
I don’t know about this particular recipe, but I used to get salmon onigiri from 7 -11 down in Taiwan. The catch is, there was this mayo mixed with wasabi paste thing. Honestly want to try and make some myself since them Americans don’t know how to properly supply their gas station grocery stores lol
*Edit: Forgot to ask (I’m not really expecting an answer since this vid is so old tbh) but what would you call the tool you used to make the onigiri? I already have a push style one at home, but this one seems more easy to use.
Ingredients:
Cooked rice
Nori seaweed
Canned tuna
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soy sauce
1tbsp mayonnaise
Hello Ms Akino!
I was wondering; is eating onigiri good for dieting? Will you gain a lot of weight when eating it? Or will you lose weight?
Because it contains rice, it has many carbohydrates. How many onigiri do you eat per week?
Thank you in advance!
Adam, thank you so much for giving us these videos! It’s wonderful having these recipes in such a neatly organized and well instructed presentation. You’re awesome! Thanks again and please keep up the great work.
Very nice. My only complaint would be the omeboshi comment. They’re salted and then sun dried. The other way around would be counter productive. You need the salt to pull out the juices, Alcohol to disinfect them, and the sun (or a low setting of the oven) to evaporate the booze and draw out any final juices. (I prefer finishing boshi in the oven due to unperdictable weather changes but it’s very untraditional.)
My favorite suggestion for beginners making onigiri or someone who cant waste time with the water hand salting crap: take a bowl or cup the size you want your onigiri to be put wrap in the bowl, salt the wrap lightly and place in your rice. Tie up and form from the outside of the wrap. Boom! Mess free onigiri already prepackaged!:D
I watch this while on a low carb diet… I don’t know if it is self torture or if I just like to imagine how they would taste… I like to think is the second choice.
if anyone wants to make onigiri and not hassle with rice, it’s common to find frozen sticky rice in the frozen section of a grocery store. the one i buy comes in a steamable bag.
I always watch anime and always wanted to make one of theese thx for the recipe and thanks for being straight forward ��❤️
Your background music makes my brain explode. Please change it.
I am so glad I watched this video, Furikake is so freaking expensive in the Korean and Japanese grocery stores in the US. Making your own seems to be so freaking easy! I never even thought about it!
I usualy add rice-vinegar with a tea-spoon of salt to my rice would that already be too salty with a small protion of Furikake (Chickenor Fish-flavor)? I only have very small pakages to try it out. They are as small as regular tea-bags.
0:55 Wait. Who calls Koshihikari just “Sushi rice”?:/ In Japan, at least, it’s just commonly used for all kinds of different dishes and I believe it’s probably the most popular variety overall.
Im a home body chef. I went to culinary school but I hate cooking for everyone. Love you Vids brother. Stay positive
正直おにぎりはそんなに好きと言う訳では無かったんやが駅でおにぎり屋さんのおにぎり食ったら上手すぎて正直今まで食ったおにぎり何だったのかと思った。
本当に作りたてのおにぎり屋のおにぎりはクッソうまい。
Can you make onigiri with fried rice or like omurice or something? That would be cool.
Ah, lovely! Many thanks for the furikake recipe! The seasoning mix is also popular in Taiwan, that’s where I first discovered it. (Taiwan’s cuisine is heavily influenced by Japan’s.)
Sometimes when I got home too tired to cook, I’d just grab some pickled veggies, pickled tofu, & a bowl of peanuts & have them with a bowl of rice liberally seasoned with furikake!
Finally tracked down an Asian market that sells jars of furikake (and the same brand I ate in Taiwan, yay!). My favorite is the Yasai Fume, but I like them all!
Have been experimenting with using furikake in more Western-style cooking, too. (I mix it with lemon juice to season salmon.) My husband is not very adventurous when it comes to eating (though he’s open-minded about it), but I am quite adventurous when it comes to cooking (which is primarily East Asian). So I’m trying to gradually introduce him to some Asian flavors and dishes.
I really like your videos but the background music is distracting
Just found your channel and subscribed in seconds. Simply one of the best cooking channel on YouTube. You deserve more love sir!❤️
Which side do you put the nori against the rice, the shiny or dull side?
Hi friends!
This is my first “Premiere” setting video. Let me know your honest opinion in the comment!
Thanks in advance♡
Adam, how do you make these with a creamy/liquidy filling like tuna mayo without having it spill out as you squeeze? I love tuna mayo onigiri, but I struggle to not have the mayo spill out. Maybe I use too much, but the konbini ones are always so deliciously creamy…
Your peaceful manner and gentle instruction make learning from you a pleasure sir. Thank you for the video.
Just ate my first… going to start plotting to make these every week
Thank you, your directions are so nice and clear, and it’s nice hearing your explanations and comments about making onigiri
Did you cook the tuna or just put it right away into the onigiri?
I always ask my sister (who lives in Japan) to send some furikake whenever she can… always want to have some in stock from time to time because they don’t sell it here in Indonesia. Also some curry bar and also some japanese instant packages (instant miso soup, instant udon, instant soba, etc)
Love your videos. Why the salt tho? My Japanese friends always use kitchen wrap to shape the onigiri.
I prefer onigiri with some sort of filling. Idk it makes it feel like more substantial snack
They’re soooo good. I’m glad I follow you so I can make them when I move back to the states. ❤️
Absolutely beautiful Chef, you have an amazing way of relating what you’re doing & why you’re doing it. Idk which is my favorite Asian cuisine, I love them all, maybe I’m a little more partial to Japanese cuisine but boy it’s tough to choose. Thank you for these amazing teachings, one thing I have learned about all Asian cuisines is each dish tells a story. ���������� 5-5 Lemons from me, (note last name)

Its 4am and my brain told me while i was watching Anime, “hey, lets make that rn at 4am i want it..”
And now im here…..
Thank you!
And thank Anime…
Yo great video man, love watching you cook really good at explaining all the steps, keep it coming!!!!

Do you have a link to that onigiri form? Every I find online looks different
Delicious, shame I can’t eat cold rice. Bacteria grows like crazy on warm rice.
“I was 35 when I first made onigiri”
okay go on
“Over the past 60 years..”

おにぎり、おむすびは、米文化の象徴。
唯一、農耕文化から残る最古の料理。
寿司、すきやきと色々あるが、最古の料理を最も大切に考えるべきだな。
do i have a tinnitus or am i the only one hearing that feeping?
We don’t have an oven…can we do this on the stove in a pan?
Why can‘t you be my Husband and cook for me everyday?? It looks soooooo delicious, well done! ��
“The reason why onigiri is favored by people is, because onigiri is food that you make with love for someone you care for. ” 5:51…I like her spirit. Her love in onigiri makes people want to eat her onigiri even 5 hours-long queue.
In America we call that chicken of the sea. It’s the most commonly eaten food in the C as chicken is the most commonly eaten food on land
it was super obvious the egg one was the best, i liked that you added tomato as welll.
Bei manchen japanischen gerichten habe ich eher angst vor hepatitis
I wasn’t searching for this but it was a great watch nonetheless, good production, awesome interviewee, and delicious looking food
I love it!! I’ve been missing to eat onigiri and now i found the best recipe!! Omg thank you for sharing♡♡
Well nothing beats a jelly filled Donut… But that donut is living a healthy lifestyle and that’s the Japanese lifestyle.
1:17 For anyone learning Japanese haha Hope your listening skills are good
how big is the nori sheet? I did this once but the sheet was too small to fold it into a parcel:(
Wow, I did not know rice can be shaped in ball btw it looks tasty
I love making these when I have left over rice. I like to put a little sesame oil on my hands when I make these. Thanks for the tips and info on how to make your own furikake, Adamlove it;)
“…but I’m putting a smiley face to make it happy”.
The way I giggled ��
I shall put a smiley on mine too hihi
Hey what’s the name of that Onigiri shaper product the orange/pinkish plastic tool you used to help shape the Onigiri please, thank you! Oh wait I see someone already asked below. Thanks for the video!
not to be rude or anything but her look reminds me of cooking mama character soo cute ☹️��✨��
onigiri is compact meal to efficient your time when busy day
It’s her life!! ✨ Shows the importance of onigiri in her life. Inspiring!
She is such a genuine person I love her attitude on life and her work.
Why does she keep saying “onigiri”? Those are obviously jelly donuts!
I can imagine making onigiri and hearing “Woooow! Even better than mama!” in my head
Our last Asian grocery store here is gone! At least the internet can help get the dried stuff!
Omg please I want to buy that thing to make onigiri ��������
This was 6 minutes and 31 seconds of pure glee, she was so bright and interesting to watch so her craft
No way I’d wait for 5 hours to get a certain food. Unless, if it is very special for me.
When you lived and japan and has a Japanese mom, making/eating onigris are just: �� they even taste better homemade. ��
Hell yeah. I was coincidentally looking up Onigiri recipes about a week ago but didn’t really find anything straightforward and then my favourite Aussie chef posts this up. Cheers Adam!
2:40 I swear that container of tuna fish she was peeling back looked like wet cat food! =^_^=
Rare to find one’ passion…it shows…can’t wait to go back to Japan and visit after this pandemic
She is so cute and honest and there’s so much ice that you can feel it! That’s why her food is delicious �� I would love to have one too!
