I always add a tiny bit of sea salt to my rice when cooking Japanese rice. Just a tiny bit. I never add seasoned rice vinegar to onigiri. Once vinegar is added, it becomes SUSHI. Usually there are directions on the bag or container of rice. Measurements and such. Perfect rice is really quite easy. Just pay attention and do not burn it. Good luck.
I used the traditional Japanese white sticky rice. Just a basic recipe.
im sorry but…what kind of rice is it?! how did you/she coocked??? thanks
…SALT?!?!?!??
I made the Short Rib onigiri and also the Tuna Onigiri and took them in my bento to work. My co-workers were SO jealous! These are delicious for lunch and transport easily. I’ve never made short ribs like this. The meat was incredibly tender and well seasoned. In a word this recipe is: F A N T A S T I C ! Yummm : )
she didnt even eat the salmon ahahah
i’ve made it with brown rice(the instant kind, btw.)
i made it the other day and it kicked ass
You can really put anything in onigiri. I just put whatever topping or fillings I have around.
LOVE onigiri!!! Never think to make it myself but I am going to after seeing this!!! Thank you! (^_^)
japanese rice is sticker & easier to make rice ball. of course, you have to add right amount of water when cooking rice. if water is not enough = rice will be too hard. if too much = rice will be too soft. you must have a good rice cooker.
Could make me Miso Onigiri pls.
Can I get Hiroshima-na, Negimiso & Umeboshi Onigiri. & Hooji-cha please.

Now I want some onnigiri :Q__
Adesso ho voglia di onigiri :Q__ uff
Koshihikari rice is the best kind to use. It should be sold in Japanese markets in America. Sometimes your local supermarket may sell it too.
Koshihikari which is most common in Japan, is grown in California as well. You will need this type of short grain rice to make the best onigiri.
Thanks man
.
does it have to be a certain type of rice? I am thinking of making it but I don’t know whether to use normal rice or a certain type
I think that’s called he1fan4 in Chinese.
Yeah, But there are another variety (can’t remember the name though) from china that is as good as the Japanese variety.
hah, well that explains whats in dessert
I believe it is illegal to export rice from Japan. I think Calrose rice is the common substitute.
I know! It’s so artistic and flavourful. It’s so different from other foods, it’s practically alien when you first try it, but oh so tasty!
That wasn’t racist. It was hilarious XD
