  • Onigiri are THE snack of Japan. Given that every household in Japan will make these on a daily basis, and they dominate the shelf space in every convenience store, it's a surprise that they aren't more commonly found outside Japan. I think it's because one of the most popular seasonings for onigiri is furikake, and that is often difficult to find outside Japanese grocers. But now you can make your own.

    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)

    • @henrikaugustsson4041
      @henrikaugustsson4041 2 года назад

      They should really be made when the rice is still hot, but cool enough to work with.
      Try mixing a can of tuna and some spicy mayo (just mayo and sriracha sauce if you want to make your own) and take a spoonful of that as the filling of your onigiri, it’s the best! 🍙

  • @Apollo440
    @Apollo440 4 года назад +3

    NHK has an Onigiri documentary in one of its Japanology series. There is an episode with Matt Alt and a chef, who shows him another way of making onigiri. He places the rice on the tabletop, puts the filling in the centre, folds the sides of the rice on top of the filling, and then forms (with salted hands) the triangular shape, with the rice still on the table. Only after that does he pick it up to put some pressure on it. I guess this makes it easier not to squish the rice while trying to get the triangular form right.

    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.

      @@keep7smiling No need to be rude. Different cultures mean different cuisines. Until anime became a thing in the US most people had never seen or heard of these dishes and so would default to THEIR childhood staples in the form of sandwiches. Also, even if they HAD heard of it most western cuisine used long grain rice so that's what was carried in stores. Long grain rice isn't sticky and so would never have come together enough to form onigiri.
      I'm sure it would never occur to many people in Japan to combine maple syrup, peanut butter, and raisins with celery but that was a staple of MY childhood in the US.

    @xScreamingxInsanityx 4 года назад +1

    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

    Great video Chef Liaw, thanks for the walk through. Takes me back to when I was a child in Okinawa. Have a question for you though. There were a few times that we got a special treat with filled onigiri, except it was a orange paste. It was a little salty, but mostly savory. It was my favorite snack that I can remember and have thought of it often over the years. Would you happen to know what that paste might have been or how to recreate it. Thanks for the videos and expertise.
