Its extremely heartwarming to see you give Oda the recognition he deserves. He seems like such a humble and passionate guy. Much respect to both of you.
This sandwich really is so ingenious. You are basically putting almost a whole bento in a sandwich. I love all the fresh elements with a little protein.
Oh my god - 969 NYC Coffee was my study spot the summer I was taking my boards! That Japanese man is so pure and precious he is amazing!! And I love that you were in my neighborhood and got to meet and learn from him. You're awesome man. Just discovered your channel and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed by your commitment to authenticity, manageability, creativity, thoroughness in process. Much love from your fellow New Yorker!
The ring mold is a great idea... I've been making them by just stacking the ingredients which can get kind of cumbersome and messy. A good tip I've found is to lay a stick of cucumber or carrot (or anything really) on the outside after it's packaged in the direction of the sliced vegetables on the inside so that when you cut it, you can cut against them to get that really nice cross section
Thanks to Oda, I hope this video will make his restaurant more famous. I surely would go eat there. And Brothers Green, thank you for your amazing content. I always enjoy watching your videos, especially the sandwich series.
The place is next to him and he acts like he must travel to the other end of America. lol I learned two new things here so far. A cool new manga and how to use tofu better. :D thank you!
I recently discovered onigirazu and it has been an amazing replacement for my children's lunch at school. They are more open-minded about variety even if in reality is still just a sandwich but it's with rice and seaweed.
I love that this is a two part episode, and this could have been a two episode series almost, but it was so touching the respect and time you gave to Mr. Oda. It warmed my heart
I have to say that every single video without fail has inspired me to get up and cook good food. Even during my dark days. I look forward to watching, so afterwards I can make dank food! Thank you. Keep on keeping on my dude.
I love that you research the culture well! There is actually a traditional freez-dried tofu called Koya-dofu or Kori-dofu in Japan. I love them. Thanks for showing our food :)
Discovered your channel recently and started of with mistakes people make with cooking and then your program on tips for cooking. Nowadays I'm hooked. I'm a beginner cook and love cooking for my friends. It's an amazing feeling to see people enjoy a meals I you cooked for them.
I'm vegan but I love watching your videos, especially the sandwich series, because I can always learn something new. I used that simmering broth with the 20 chinese spices to cook some home made seitan in and it turned out soooo delicious!
I have been binge watching Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese cooking videos for the past 6months I've watched every type of video you can imagine and I still to this day need more information and am just obsessed !! One too I saw this older woman doing is putting her pickled veggies in glass air tight mason jars and seeing them upside-down in the fridge or in a dark room.. I tried the fridge method and I can't lie I love it I live for anything pickled !
Agree with the shiso in place of lettuce. Also, maybe soften the nori before trying to fold it? All in all a fantastic sandwich. I love the sandwich series. More please!!!
Hello! Thanks so much for this series! I'm a chef and I'm also vegan but I've really appreciated seeing all the different techniques and history behind all these sandwiches, and although I don't eat meat, it's still so helpful to learn about all these different ways of cooking and apply them to other things I'm making, especially if I'm trying to replicate a meat flavour or texture. I've loved the effort you put into these videos and how they've evolved over time, it really shows your passion for food and cooking and your serious next-levels of cooking intuition and skill. It was awesome for me to see the series end on a vegan sandwich because it really reflects the increasing popularity of veganism and shows you're in touch with your viewers. Can't wait to see what you do next! Also, having read some of the comments, you using the Premiere feature didn't bother me in slightest, in fact, it did get me excited that this video was coming out soon since I've loved this series. I didn't watch the video 'live' since it was at 2am UK time, but it was literally no inconvenience to me. - Sophie
Hey Man ! I tried cooking this at Home and it was really Amazing. I had another ingrediens but i stayed on a vegan onigirazu. I also cooked tofu nuggets but not the same way and i wanted to share it because it was really Delicious ! So I had in mind those Japaneses marinate chicken nuggets that calls kara-age and I wanted to do the same with tofu. So broke my tofu in nuggets and put them in a bowl. Added some soy sauce, rice vinegar, some mirin , sesame oil, garlic and ginger. Let marinated that during few hours. Then I took the tofu out ouf the marinade added flour to the marinade . Pour the paste on the tofu pieces, add some extra flour and fried it ! You all really need to try this it was absolutely delicious !
I can’t express my appreciation enough! This series is incredible. Your instructionals are so rewarding to watch. You are definitely one of the best food shows I’ve seen in my life.
a quick tip for your rice if i may suggest ;) i know it's not a traditional way of doing it, but you can use a fork to "gently" mix the rice after you put the marinade on it. this way you don't put to much pressure on the rice and it doesn't get mushy. thank you for all your videos. i learned a lot from you and your brother!
This looks so good and relatively simple. I have quite a few vegan friends and I feel like I've maxed out all my vegan recipes with them. I'll definitely be giving this a shot the next time they're over.
the better way to make the freezing tofu work even better is to open it, drain, freeze, unfreeze, drain (you can repeat that once again), pull into chunks AND THEN marinate it in veggie broth! He didn't do that but it makes the tofu soo much better. Then you can bread and fry :)
I just started watching your channel and at first I had some reservations but after watching your bone broth video and now this I'm starting to really enjoy watching this wonderful channel. Four years ago I lost my sense of taste so I've been feeding my eyes through cooking channels like Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsey, Cooking With Dog, Career: Housewife, that one French chef channel that makes lovely ramen, and now yours along with many others I can't think of. You have a very complicated skill that you make us, the layman (or experienced chef), understand easily and the way you edit your videos makes everything come together like warm running water on a cold winter day. Thanks for allow me to live vicariously through your entertaining videos!
Love it! Keep doing what you do. I always loved to cook but your channel has made me take it to the next level. You guys are a real inspiration. Thank you so very, very much.
I didnt know I absolutely loved onigirazus until I saw Master Oda making that piece of art. I will most definitely try to make them at home too. Thanks for uploading this, man.
OMG MY TWO FAVS! - Mary's Test Kitchen and Brothers Green! I'm so glad you chose that fried "chicken" recipe from her. It's fantastic but I so wish you had continued her recipe by having the tofu chunks soak in some broth to give it more flavor.
I used to live on E27th between shore parkway & Voorhees in Sheepshead bay Brooklyn; every time I watch one of your videos I miss the area a little bit. Different kind of life.
I've made this with my boys. Literally can put anything in it... sooo good. We have a different method of making it though. I put my sushi rice in a cookie sheet, lined with foil and cooking spray, while it's cooling down. This way I can make them in to squares and use a spatula. ;) I lay down the plastic wrap fist and then I offset the nori to make it a diamond. Place the sushi rice squares in the center. Then proceed with the filling and topped again with rice square. Fold in all the corners and use plastic wrap to hold it together.
I've enjoyed this series so much! Was also really glad to see a vegan addition, I love how you guys show that its still possible to be a foodie whilst cooking with just plants. Cheers Mike!
I like your style ... finding an idea, checking it out in a restaurant, and replicating from scratch. Thanks for the vegan option ... you hooked me! Nice job ... good video and enjoy your chat! Tomiko
I hope there is a season two, I really enjoyed season one. So many more great sandwiches to explore like the Reuben, Cubano, Gyro, Bahn Mi and I'm sure some esoteric ones I have never heard of.
Shiso leaves instead of lettuce/or siding with the lettuce would've added an amazing flavor! Please try it yourself with shiso leaves, or try ume onigiri with shiso leaves, truly a heavenly experience for the palate :)
This was my favorite series this channel has produced yet 😍 excited to see what you do in the future. I really enjoy your attention to detail and making beautiful content as well as beautiful food ☺️
This channel is easily the best cooking channel I've ever seen, by far, and believe me I binge on many others... I think the seaweed at the end might have needed some way of making it soft before wrapping it in the sandwich?
Great video! I make mine with leftover salmon and asparagus, or a fried egg, ham and cheese, or Canadian bacon, Swiss cheese and avocado, and always with a little mayo and a sprinkle of furikake.
If you made your own vinegar mix for the sushi, it would be improved. My Mom never used store bought sushi vinegar mix. She made great sushi. She added a little bit of ginger to the mix, let it sit and took it out. It added a nice subtle ginger flavor. I grew up making sushi.
You should absolutely try the Dutch 'broodje pindakaas'. A delicious sandwhich often eaten at lunch and whenever someone is eating it in proximity you wil always hear a 'gadverdamme, pindakaas meurt'. It trully shows the high of Dutch quisine.
In Japanese, the word "to press" (like clench your hands) is "nigiru", and the pressed rice ball is "onigiri" because you shape the rice into your hands and press it lightly to form a triangular shape. "-azu" is grammatically opposite, so the negative form of the verb. So "onigirazu" is a little play on word because when you make this, the ingredients are similar to onigiri but you don't have to "press" the rice into a triangle.
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode and I learned a couple of new techniques. I must try the miso pickles and the tofu. I really hope there is another season, Mike.

This is a very Japanese thing say and it's so nice to see people like what they do
I been to 969 cafe many times , Oda is the most friendly guy around and his food is really really really good!
The place is next to him and he acts like he must travel to the other end of America. lol
I learned two new things here so far. A cool new manga and how to use tofu better. :D thank you!
Rice ball? I think you're mistaken. That's clearly a Jelly donut ;)
Nothing beats a jelly filled donut!
It actually is, the "the jelly Donut was actually a rice ball"-myth was debunked on the youtube channel binging with babish.
ahhhh pokemon
Also reminds me of a Spam Misubi ...they’re delicious.

We stan Oda.
In all seriousness, though, I'd genuinely love to see him make his own cooking channel, or something. I'd watch tf out of that.
