How To make Onigiri (Japanese Rice Balls)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- If you're a fan of Japanese food and you've never had Onigiri, then it's time to change that. This is a recipe and guide on how to make both typical onigiri and crispy yaki onigiri at home, with an umami rich pork belly filling. No fancy equipment required, easy to replicate, and insanely delicious.
Also press "f" to pay respect to me dropping my canon 5d mark IV. I'm still very sad about it. Luckily I got the warranty so it should be coming back very soon, either fully functioning or brand new.

That feeling when you just discovered his channel, binge watched it for the last few days, and now you're part of the squad and feel happy that he posted haha
My week in a nutshell
And now you’re waiting for each video like the rest of us. Welcome to the club. :)
Un MC FACTS LMOOOOOOOO
yaas! foodies unite!!!
Same here honestly I’ve been here a week lol just watched the sourdough starter video seen the heb brand stuff hooyah Texas!!
These doughnuts are great, jelly filled are my favorite! Nothing beats a jelly filled doughnut.
Pokemon reference?
@@matthewtoral95 it's a pokemon joke, in the American release, they changed the word "rice ball" to "jelly doughnut" because wouldn't it be terrible if American children learned about other cultures...
Baron Chatdelamort nah just think saying I love balls isn’t exactly rated G
Kai Hall And guess who’s the target audience for the show. Immature kids
Baron Chatdelamort WAIT THAT WASNT A JELLY DOUGHNUT OMG MY CHILDHOOD
Traditionally you wet your hands and salt your hands, so you add flavor to the rice as you form them ;) Also for Yaki version, try brushing thin layer of soy sauce as they grill. PERFECTION.
Why I salt my hands NOT my Onigiri
@@Minsoo-Cha I got it, Raegusa channel reference
I just salt my balls
차민수 I was told by my mom that water AND salt in your palm are supposed to prevent the rice from sticking to your palm. Seasoning is not the whole purpose.
@@Minsoo-Cha I'm watching this at 2 am and your comment made me laugh so hard I woke up my roommate.
You should've posted this yesterday when I was eating rice and pork SEPARATELY
Like an animal.....
Heretic
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Psychopath....
Use the leftovers!
"I work in a Japanese restaurant."
I am astounded by the amount of energy you must have to both work in a restaurant and make cooking videos for RUclips.
I applaud you good sir.
he used to work there
I've made this numerous times before
Key tip
Make the riceballs and place them in the fridge on a large plate so that the surface dries out
Next day, fry them in a mix of vegetable oil and sesame oil (for added flavour; don't use only sesame, it will burn)
Helps to firm up the rice, crisp the surface, and prevent sticking to the pan
That didn't make the rice too crunchy, letting it dry out like that? I'm trying to learn how to meal prep these for a large picnic

The music: wabadabadupaduu

“Crispy balls of rice stuffed with meat” Now you are obligated to make arancini.

I was thinking, "what if I put cheese in it?"
I have severe sensory processing issues and tried onigiri on a whim about 2 months ago. It was delightful! Most of the time I can't handle certain textures or especially heavy/greasy foods, so these are perfect for me, and help me keep myself fed throughout the day, so thanks for the recipe!
Onigiri oh that stuffed rice balls goodness. Always my go-to food whenever I need to grab something quick from convenience stores here in Japan. And there're many fillings to choose from, and so many more if you're making your own using Joshua's video as a reference. Kudos!
Onigiri are good, but convenience store steamed buns(nikuman) are also good
My mouth is watering from the thumbnail. But you know what makes my mouth water more?
B-Roll
*roll*
Ok
You know, whenever I see a dish I really wanna make, I look down and there’s about a 90% chance it’s one of your videos.
Just yesterday I bought some Japanese rice to make onigiri and today you upload this onigiri video, without a doubt you have some magic kitchen powers dude
I literally work with some of the best chefs in California and I can't get enough of you dude. Love what you do. All the makings of a great show without any pretentiousness whatsoever. (Why haven't they made a dab emoji?)
This guy just combined my 2 favorite things, cooking and chill music, i just subscribed for 2 weeks and already watch alot of his vids and learned allot till now, and it helps me in my job cuz im new in the world of being a chef so these vids help me allot, thanks
I know I could've gone to google to look up how to cook pork belly but this helped me for the 1st cook and I just threw what I didn't use into the fridge and used it form time to time for different meals. Thank you.

@Fat Earther thank you, i try.
@Fat Earther look at your own username
I'VE BEEN A FAN FROM THE FIRST VIDEO RECOMMENDATION ON MY FEED! KEEP IT COMING!
SAME BOI
love it! If you wanna go straight up traditional filling: katsuobushi (bonito flakes) + umeboshi (salted plums)... my Japanese mom used to pack these for my lunch from time to time
And we’ve past 150k. I can’t believe less than a year ago you only had 8,000+ subscribers. 200k will be here next week at this rate!
We did it! It took weeks to gather all the ingredients cause we live in a small town, but we did it. We made yaki onigiri
Every single recipe that i made following your steps were amazing.
So thanks to help this amateur cook lover
This is truly a guy who understands food and its importance in human feelings
@Joshua Weissman, I love the videos, bro. If I had one complaint, I guess it would be the volume difference between live-shot and voice-over. The live-shot is much louder, and I end up adjusting volume back and forth.
That's good really nice constructive criticism
I agree with this as well as volume of music vs voice, especially during intro and b-roll.
I listen to it RAW man, with the volume turned all the way up.
That’s just the way his editing is; the v.o. track is probably voiced into a mic, where his into/b-roll is directly into the camera mic ( harder to edit).
After making this recipie I have a little advice for it. When you cut your pork belly make sure to make it into really small cubes. It won't really get any smaller while you're frying it because it already got smaller in the oven. The pork being in big chunks makes it very limiting
Also for those wondering the taste of the meat it is a very bold flavor that tastes like a fatty, crisper pork rib with some nice soy sauce mixed in. I know that's kinda obvious but I was wondering too since I hadn't had porkbelly yet and thought it would be different. From the looks of it you could make practically anything into Onigiri, there just has to be a lot of flavor in it because it's mostly rice. Next time I'm gonna try a teriyaki onigiri, also maybe adding something 8n that uses the sauce from Papa's "Panda Express But Better" would be amazing.
I was just thinking about how you should have a new video up and then I picked up my phone and it notified me of this video! Good timing ;)
crazyisme1 I appreciate you
Joshua Weissman I think I appreciate you more though!
Joshua Weissman also sorry about that camera :(
2k views in under 40 minutes. That's a decent sized crowd. Imagine you in a venue with that many people. Just wait 24 hours and look at the views lol.
Bruh this is the first video of yours I've ever seen and I INSTANTLY subscribed
Yummy!!! Your channel is on fire and honestly followed your recipes compared to other channels is the best.
First, besides a general hurrah for all your yummy recipes, a big thumbs up for taking the time and giving your european viewers all the measurements in °C, grams and milliliters, that's highly appreciated :D But I must mention that I always have to chuckle a bit, when you give us the literal conversion of the numbers, like 62° C in the oven ^^ Just round it to the nearest 5° should be enough (well, unless you are using a sou vies apparatus, which normally allows such precise measurements ), most ovens or grills will have a dial that isn't THAT precise. But this isn't shouldn't come off as ungrateful or condescending, as I really enjoy your content and appreciate your extra effort :)
Maid-sama would’ve been proud in seeing you make ball onigiri
Bruh this will be a perfect homemade lunch for college
literally the exact reason I am watching this video lol
@@redshirtnumber3494 Surprise surprise I never had this for lunch, because lockdown happened and I didnt need packed lunch LOL. Goodluck on your college endeavors though.
Joshua!! You are literally my favorite youtuber right now, thanks for the awesome content and I look forward to the next video
I love your tiktoks! Glad to find this recipe because onigiri is my absolute favorite food!
Seriously love the all the effort and personality you put into these keep up the good work homie :)
THEFRIEGUY thank you man 🙏
@@JoshuaWeissman you should do an episode on fries XD
Is anyone else here from Tik Tok? That's some whisky business over there. ❤️ Love you, man!
Seeing you fill it with pork belly makes me want to make jajangmyeon (korean/Cantonese black bean pork belly) and make onigiri with that. My go to filling has been baked teriyaki eel. I gotta try frying them now. Get some rice season too to mix in with your rice!
These videos honestly make me smile inside.
😂😂😂 love the recipes! I’m a fan forever. BUT, I also come here for laughs! HILARIOUS!!! Leg sashimi got me! 😂😂😂
Your B-roll transition on this one was spot on. I laughed out loud cause it caught me so off guard
I was binge watching all your vids and then suddenly a new vid popped up '59 mins ago' YAY!
Your channel is going to blow up real quick
First video and I already love him
These donuts are great. Jelly-filled are my favorite. Nothing beats a jelly-filled donut.
Did u just make an account to write this comment 😂😂😂
@@hatakenewt348 nah ive had this acc since i was 9 turning 10. Only recently I named it Brock.
Niochi hatake did you just... copy the top comment?
Damn Joshua, your channel is growing like crazy! Congrats and well deserved mate. Keep up the amazing work
WHIFTER hey man I seriously appreciate it, thank you! :)
Your food choices make perfect sense now. Love your channel
I've found that brushing the top and bottom with miso glaze before grilling makes the yaki onigiri 💯💯💯
These donuts are great, jellyfilled are my favorite, nothing beats a jellyfilled donut!
King of B-roll shots
I am impressed you work in a high end Japanese restaurant and cooked Beef Wellington last week!
I'm so glad you made this. every time I've attempted onigiri it never turns out quite right. I will definitely be following this step-by-step. I hope your camera gets fixed quickly. Good luck!
Coming across your videos is the best thing that's ever happend to me lol. Soooo relaxing
He makes me feel like I've been doing life all wrong, having never bought pork belly... I need it in my life
"If any of the sushi chefs found out I wasnt washing my rice, they'd make sashimi out of my damn *legs* "
I choked
This will definitely satisfy my weekend Japanese food cravings!
Ohh, that's why I'm seeing so many Japanese recipes from you! I thought it was due to watching anime, lol.
Love your videos Joshua. You have a great personality and it's easy to spend some time with you..so to speak!
I’m so hungry right now and really want Asian food. Is this a sign that it’s in my future? Or is the devil taunting me.
I didn't try this exact recipe, but I did use it as a guide. And boy, making onigiri into a triangle in hand is a lot harder than others make it look. I cheated by placing it on the cutting board and shaping it while it was on the board.
I have a mold that is shaped like a triangle that belonged to my maternal grandmother passed down to me along with a couple of other mold shapes too. I have never had onigiri with pork belly. I will most certainly have to try. We would have it stuffed with tsukemono (Japanese pickle) or ginger. You can also roughly shape it and wrap in in nori in the shapes like a cone.
No explanation needed💓
Dumb question, but I live in a turkish household and as much as I LOVE pork Belly, how would I go about cooking the chicken? Thanks in advance and once again, keep up the hard work. I LOVE these videos.
I binge watch these videos at 2:30 am 😂😭
For those of you like me that just have sticky hands or something and getting your hands damp never seems to stop the rice from sticking, use cling film. Just cut off a square of clingfilm and use that to form the rice with your hands on the outside. Despite being called clingfilm it doesnt seem to cling to sushi rice all that well, so its a perfect tool for quickly and repeatedly forming nigiri, onigiri, or whatever other rice formations you have on the menu that day
Get in my belly!! These look AMAZING!! Joshua you’re the awesomest cook out there.
Thanks for your videos.
Great work
Wait.... are you... on tiktok?????
I LOVE your tiktok! Just found your channel ! SO HAPPY!!!
“They’d make sashimi outta my damn legs”
Now there’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear.
I normally do a simple tuna salad onigiri with yuzu paste and Kewpie mayo topped with pan roasted sesame seeds...
Baron Chatdelamort cool...
@@bobasbountytv1572 Kewpie mayonnaise is a Japanese brand of mayonnaise... yuzu kosho is a Japanese chili and citrus paste... so I'm pretty much writing in English everywhere I can... I fail to see the confusion...
. CHILL CHILL STOP ITS JUST A PRANK BRO
Awesome how 2 content! it's got us in our flow for new ideas
Japanese descendant here, better to water your hand in a mixture of vinegar and water, then you put a pinch of salt and rub on your hands before forming the onigiri so the exterior of the onigiri gets salty, that's how I've always seen ppl do
Your pronunciation is so adorable but your food is amazing, I love you Mr. Weissman, never change.
Yeayy im making this later! Thanks!
These look amazing! 😲
just made this with miso soup for me and my family and it was delicious! 10/10 gonna be using more of your recipes from now on
Domo arigato Joshua!! 🍡
Really love ur stuff, Josh!! Keep up the good work
I understand the video is about balls made of rice. But what really sticks in my brain is that background music which sings 'I am the 1966 french Riviera '.
looks yummy, thought of using glad wrap to cover the ball
Seems really simple and delicious, would love to try them.
I'd like to do some music for your future videos @Joshua Weissman - Im only down the highway in Texas too! Keep up the good work!!
Those jelly filled donut look delicious
Awesome dish I love making this with chashu
Im not gonna lie. This is the first video to which someone actually wash their rice when cooking rice that ive seen
I found this channel today I would like to say that you deserve so many more subscribers, you're awesome❤
I don’t eat pork but this was really satisfying to watch :)
This was really interesting cause I only knew onigiris as rice triangles!! Thanks lad, I think rice balls will be easier to make thn triangles lol
Could you do few more for fillings? I always end up with the same three: tuna mayo, umeboshi, or okaka
You can actually fill it with whatever you want, just try some stuff. You can choose some fruits as well for example mango-avocado-ginger.
Okaka rocks
rewatching this one again haha. i want a weissman edibles recipe man haha
I tried to make tuna stuffed onigiri and boyyyy. That shit fell apart. I’m gonna try the balls. Thanks dude love your channel so much.
Honestly exactly like my chef makes. I like to garnish them with sansho pepper. Great recipe!
My favourite one that my made for me when I was a kid was plain onigiri with miso rubbed all over it 🤤 and the plain one with umeboshi in the middle. Yum
Love your videos!! You got me hooked with your Ginger beer video. I'm already on my second batch.... Now I have watched a few more of your videos and Damm I just want to make EVERYTHING 😃
Awesome video I want to eat
You seem to like Japanese food a lot... Keep up the good work! Love from a Japanese gal!
chuck chuckles I have always loved Japanese food culture sososos much. I have endless respect for it.
I swear i have never wanted to make something this much
Another great video, Kerry Gold Fam
Sherm Black kerry gold
Fam ❤️
Crazy! I was literally making these tomorrow!?!
Thanks for the tutorial! I plan to make this dish soon.
I make onigiri for anime conventions so that all my friends and I can enjoy a special lunch, so I'm gonna favorite this just for the pork belly.
