I got a feedback that “sticky rice” may be confusing to some people. There is rice for making mochi in Asia which is called “sticky rice” or “sweet rice” or “glutinous rice”. This type of rice is not for making onigiri. To make good onigiri, please use Japanese rice or sushi rice :) I’m sorry for the confusion 🙏🙏 ----------------------------------------------------------- Hello guys! I hope you’re having a lovely day :) I’ve been missing onigiri from konbini (Japanese convenience store), so I tried to copy their onigiri at home 🍙 I hope you enjoy the video! Please check the description box for the ingredients and tips!

Oh! Since you live in Spain, there's a brand of rice called Brazal, that is sold in el corte ingles, that claims to be good for sushi. It has a yellow packaging. Since I saw that you tried to make onigiri with regular white rice once and it didn't work, It would be interesting to see if this one is what it claims to be. It would be amazing if it works because it's more affordable than sushi rice, but I don't have my hopes up

Sure! I love going to el corte ingles 🥳 Thanks for sharing!

I love ONIGIRI and japanese cooking, arts, nd the hannya. Love from the philippines.

I love the conversation and the rating of the onigiri at the end! 🍙

I love your recipes. Thank you for sharing.

I recently came back from Japan and am missing their food 🥲. Thank you so much for these awesome recipes!

I just made your kombu onigiri. It was my first time making anything like this and it came out so impressive! thank you for breaking it down and making it less intimidating, before your video i was too scared to try 😅

i really miss onigiri from combinis in japan. super cheap and super delicious. my absolut favorite snack :)

Salmon skin is my favourite part of the fish too! 😁 these all look so incredibly delicious as always! Thank you for sharing, I'll have to try these different recipes soon 🥰❤️

My dad thinks I’m weird for liking the skin but that’s where the most flavor is when you cook it.

Looks delicious, will make some …

I love kombu onigiri! I should have it more often, but I'm an impatient cook and it takes so long to make 🙃😅 but when I do, it's always a treat! 😊

I love onigiri and tried making it after your last video. Even though I knew which rice to use and had that rice on hand, somehow I managed to cook a pot of basmati instead. It was so disappointing!! They did taste good, but there was no hope of them holding together. I will try again!

I have done this sort of thing before, it's so easy to do! 😂 my brain says "you need rice" and I just grab the first one I see in the pantry without thinking! I've had some very interesting risottos and curries in my life 😂❤️

I bought 2,5kg of sweet rice by mistake the other day at the asian supermarket. I was so bummed out when I realised my mistake once I got home, because I really wanted to try to make your onigiris. I'll have to go back and get the right kind of rice next time. Also, thank you for these new recipes, they sounds amazing!

Sweet rice is great for desserts, and of course mochi. It's hard to find whole here, but I recommend making making homemade mochi with it and it's great for Horchata (Mexican rice water).

dont be bummed out. glutinous rice is great for making lots of east asian desserts! like the comment above me mentioned. you can make mochi and horchata or make vietnamese coconut sticky rice or thai mango sticky rice!

Looks really good 😊how long did you cook each side for the salmon ?

Спасибо!

nice video, i've been making onigiri for a few weeks and i love it. I'm from chile, and we don't have many of the ingredients, but we have tons of seafood so i've been trying out the local fish and see what does or doesn't work. I have a question, do japanese people eat onigiri with soy sauce? i prefer the soy sauce to salt, but only a light coating, i mix sesame oil, soy, and rice vinegar in a small spray container and carry it when i make sushi rice

looks so delicious ma'am....shout out ma'am for your next vedios....

Yuka, you have nice bowls & plates, what style bowls you used? Soap, rice or….?

How long can I store tunaxmayo onigiri in the refrigerator and how do I keep it?

¿como se almacena el onigiri en el refrigerador?

How do U season the rice before making the rice pods?

اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فأعفو عني

For the salmon, can I just use more mirin instead of sake? No close stores near me sell sake :(

Hello! I have a small question about seasoned kombu - If you buy it rather than make it from scratch like you did, do you still need to heat it up in a pan and make it all saucy? Or just add sesame seeds? Thank you! :)

I've made onigiri a few times but it always seems to be kind of "dry". I'm using sushi rice that I cook in a rice cooker. Am I doing something wrong?

Add more water to your cooking perhaps ? You don't want it just cooked but also a bit overcooked so it's mushier and more manageable

@yuka_jp

Maybe you should add more water :) I guess some rice needs more water than usual 😢

I'm hungry D'=

I have to be honest, whenever I try to make onigiri or makizushi, I usually get hungry & lazy and just throw the rice and other ingredients into a poke bowl and eat it without shaping it into anything...

I think calling japanese/sushi rice, sticky rice, can cause confusion to some people because there's also sticky rice which is not regular sushi/japanese rice. Because sticky rice is the one used for mochi, or the thai one eaten with hands. Japanese rice is stickier than regular european white rice, but it's not sticky rice.
