It's so nice how you can use literally anything for them, like olive and cheese because it's in your fridge right now. I saw weird purists on reddit talk about how "a real onigiri" needs tuna/mayo filling and I was like "bruh wtf if a Japanese person lived in the West they'd probably just go to the grocery store and fill their onigiri with whatever they like"

There was a 7-Eleven next to my hotel in Japan so I would pop in every morning and buy the the tuna mayo onigiri or natto onigiri for breakfast. I tried recreating it when I returned home but it didn't taste the same. I didn't realize it was seasoned with soy sauce! I'm excited to try again. Thank you!

1:28 A small tip based on what I know about rice! The good rice types for rice balls are generally called "short grain rice" or "short rice". They are packed with more starch per grain then the long grain rice so they stick together easier cause starch is a type of sugar which is.. well... STICKY! Like sugar tends to be! Most European and North American rice are long grain, where as most Asian rices are short.
Good luck!

I’ve been eating so many onigiri in uni because it’s cheap and fast to make and you can use any filling. I love using left overs in mine, literally anything is tasty with rice and it’s such a great, portable snack! Salmon is amazing as filling, probably my fav.
Also love that you made a western one because I love it when cultures and cuisines mix!!

Hi! Some of the viewers told me that it was difficult to shape the onigiri. (I'm sorry to hear that but thank you for trying!) Here are some additional tips. Hope it helps 🙏🙏🙏 1. Use sticky rice. 2. If you put too much or too little water when you make rice, it would be difficult to shape it. For making rice, we usually put 200ml water for 1 rice cup (180ml of rice). 3. When you shape it, the rice should be hot or warm. The rice becomes less sticky when it’s cold. 4. If the amount of the fillings or ingredients are too much, it’s more difficult to shape it. Try to put less.
