It's interesting to see how Japanese food is made in Japan. Here in the US, my grandparents made do with what was available back in the late 1800s, and since they had to travel 200 miles away to buy things like nori, they made onigiri without the nori part so that's what I'm used to eating. I can see why nori would add a lot of flavor to the onigiri, though. We almost exclusively ate the plain salted version and the pitted umeboshi version so we didn't have to spit out the seed! Thanks for sharing!

That’s so true! In Mexico, the umeboshi was spicy too! I was surprised in Japan it’s just salty lol not sure who in the family also decided to make the unagiri with chorizo 😅

Just to let you know in English ‘toppings that go inside’ we call ‘fillings’ or it’s filled with. So like ‘this doughnut is filled with with jam’ or ‘this doughnut has a jam filling’ so in this case onigiri is filled. Hope I’m helping and not patronising you in anyway > Love the vids I’ve even started making a few recipes. Thank u so much!

How's stuffing different from filling?

An excellent teacher! Articulate in perfect English with precise descriptions!!

I pretty much lived on umeboshi and salted salmon onigiri for my entire pregnancy. That and inarizushi. There was something about the combination of short grain rice, pickled plums, and seaweed that eased my near-constant nausea, and even today I still make them for lunch at least once a week and think of it as comfort food. Thanks for an easy tutorial. For a long time I messed them up because I compressed them together too much. I was concentrating on getting the perfect triangle shape, but i let the rice get too dense and squished.

These doughnuts are great! Jelly filled are my favorite!

I was watching your videos and found it detailed and easy to follow the recipes to prepare and enjoy those delicious meals that you were making. Thank you so much for sharing!

Really loved how you emphasized to not throw away any leftover rice.

Used this video to make onigiri for the first time today! Thanks for making such a clear and easy to follow tutorial ❤

I learned a lot from this video, thanks a lot! 勉強になりました。

Good morning TAIJI !I'm glad your here again

Thank you. Everything is easy and tasty after following you...

just like how my obachan taught me to make musubi aka onigiri. i still make them like your vid. ty for sharing❤❤

'filling' is a better word than 'topping.'

Just watched again. How I miss Japanese food. All of it. I lived in Hawaii and my best friend was Japanese. She took me to all the best local restaurants. I'm finally realizing I can make it all !!

Excellent tutorial/ Thank you, thank you.

Thank you Chef! I am making it for the first time 🎉

Definitely gonna try out to make that salmon one i make a lot of japanese recipe’s so this onigiri one is definitely joins my list

fantastic teaching and now I've leant how to make these delicious onigiri, thank you !!

I just saw your video and like it very much. Simple and easy to follow instructions. TQ.

Thank you. Excellent tutorial and sharing how its enjoyed. I feel a sense of culture and civility emanating.

I recently discovered your channel and enjoy every second 😍 Thank you for making the food you cook simple and of course delicious 🤤 I'm not sure if anyone had mentioned but I think filling would be the proper description versus topping. Hope that helps 😊

Thank you..lovely lesson..

Wow i love watching is so great. Kon'nichiwa oishi love it😋😍

Those jelly donuts look delicious!

Das erste vernünftige Video dazu! Danke! Das mit dem Salz in der Hand verteilen kannte ich zB noch gar nicht

So I use the baggie for this but I still thank you for showing me this. I've always wanted to make my own rice balls and now I can. I am making them right now and I am so happy with how it's turning out

I love your comment about adding love ❤️... I believe it does make a difference ❤️

I usually have a problem with cooking rice (in general). Because it seems that a lot of factors influence if it's going to be cooked well - whether you rince it, how much water you put, on what heat you cook it, etc. Your part in the video of cooking the rice is very detailed - so I appreciate it! :)

I’m from Saudi Arabia When we were kids our mothers do this with the rice ( but ball shape) and call rice balls to encourage us to eat The filling part tho is genius from Japanese people cuz it makes it more delicious 👏🏻🤤👌🏻

I love pickled plums! We tried because it was mentioned a lot in anime

I love omeboshi arigatou Chef Taiji!

😅Thank you for this video. My triangles have never looked like yours. I will try your method next time. Thank you for your tip about storing the nori. I ziploc but left them outside and it’s terrible how quickly it goes bad even inside a metal tin.

I'm trying to make onigiri for the first time today and landed here for a tutorial on how to do it. My rice is soaking now

It was my first time doing it today and i nailed it thanks to your tips

I'M an ordinary citizen i'm not a fun outdoor dine now that I follow you share video i start to imagine what the taste is.

I like the pickled plums, nori, bonito flakes, and salmon. Lawson used to do a tuna and mayo origins in the mid 1990s.

Hi. Can i use thai jasmine rice or is thete a special type of rice to use? Thanks

I really need to try making onigiri with my hands, I actually brought onigiri moulds from a Japanese store in London. 😅 small and large sizes. Perfect for me 😁 I love onigiri for a mid day snack 😋 (also thank you for the tip about storing nori in the fridge, I always store it in a ziplock, but never thought to store it in a fridge to keep it fresh) 👍

I made onigiri before with Chinese style fillings, actually more of buns with rice not doughs, hahaha~ This is cooking, you put what you like together and you can enjoy the meal~ The onigiri I saw from anime are bigger in shape and thinner in the thickness, is there a standard for how it should look like?

Can filled topping of onigiri come any variation ?

I've just a question for you: do I need to add the vinegar to the rice during the preparation as you show in the video about sushi rice?

Hi I love your channel. It would be called a filling.

Forgot to say...GREAT VIDEO. And you're cute

will any kind of rice work or will i need a specific type?

You can said "filling" instead of "topping" c:

So the rice is basically plain until you either season it slightly with salt during shaping or with the choice of fillings, right? I was sure that sometimes the onigiri has a slight sweetness in taste.

Do we need to use certain rice? Or is any rice good?

Thanks, im 13, but i like to cook, and I'll be trying this, but is it good with raw salmon

So, do you let the rice cool off completely before forming it into triangles, or do you keep it kind of warm?

Bro this is gonna be some fire food in collage for cheap as hell

Did you use sushi rice?

I love onigiri and I use spam like in Hawaii.

Thank you for the tutorial. May I know how long can I prepare this in advance before serving? It wouldn't be practical to make and serve at once for parties or picnics. How do you store them after molding (preping) and what's the maximum storage time?

@taijiskitchen

Жыл бұрын

it depends on the season, but in Summer no more than like 5-7 hours (in cool place), in the winter around 12 hours or so. of course covered. do not store rice in regular fridge, unless you can set it above 10 degrees, since under 5 degrees the starch will harden.

I use Yume-nishiki or Nishiki. it really depends on what kind of brown rice, since the (most) brown rice is exactly the same rice, just not polished. in general brown rice, b/c it is surrounded by the bran, it does not stick to each other, but defiantly possible.

Instead of " toppings" the English words you're looking for is " fillings"( means to fill with) or "stuffing" (to stuff with)

It’s called filling when you wrap it with anything, rice or dough.

Topping isn’t the right word the word we would use in English is a common one called filling e.g. tuna on potatoes and etc same would go for onigiri 🍙

Deutsches Salt hmm

It would be called filling instead of toppings

Stir vs mixing - mixing means combining 2 or more items together. When you are combining the bonito flakes with the soy sauce, you are mixing. Stirring is to move or agitate a substance so that there is more exposure. What you are doing when moving the rice is stirring it, not mixing it.

Is that Jasmine rice?

@taijiskitchen

Жыл бұрын

no it is not. Jasmin rice is a long grain rice. Jasmin rice is not very sticky due to less starch content and would probably not come together as Onigiri like in the video. in Japan we use short grain (sticky) rice, which is eaten primarily only in Japan and Korea. search for Japanese rice or Sushi rice.

its called stuffing not topping, in English
