How to make a niguiri/ rice ball

[Kikerott0Son]

Everyone who says that it's spelled wrong, it's not. Because you say 'Osushi' instead of Sushi sometimes. The "O" makes it polite!

[ImportTec89]

what did you put in the center of it?

[sopheakprak1]

what thing did she put into the rice???

[lordcapucino]

VAI TOMAR NO CU 

[samar5452]

what about the seaweed?

[0regan]

あらら、ちょっと強く握りすぎたかな？

[ciccarello]

is that flower u put on your hands so it doesnt stick?

[Kenko706]

No. That was salt. PLain fillled onigiri often have the maker weting their hands then adding a smal amount of salt as a flavoring and preservative.

[ciccarello]

oh that makes since, i was like wtf flower?

but ya, when i was experiementing with onigiri i used some salt in the second batch, it make it taste great :)

[1mcflylove]

no its salt

[ShadowXDDS]

i might try that. it looks easy.

[avatarfangirl2009]

im determined to eat a rice ball before i die!!!! lol

[PpinkGgirl]

@avatarfangirl2009 lol me too

[Mortalvis]

do you got to use seasame seed oil?

[HamsterClawz]

use sticky race.. that only work

[Kwaniichan]

riceballs.... it's just rice?

[avatarfangirl2009]

no sometimes it has other ingredients, like in this video she put an umeboshi (pickled plum), most of the time though there is something in it.

[lovelivelifewthrocky]

um correct me if im wrong but isnt that long grain rice instead of sushi rice but hay it worked dint it ^_^

[matthew623210]

LOL it WAS long grain rice, wth? but yea i guess it did work, ive never even tried with long grain!

[xniicoelle]

I love riceballs. XD

But here in the philippines, they eat rice evey breakfast, lunch and dinner for a complete meal.

riceballs are just a few seconds snack for them.

XD

[RyanSC12]

what did she put in the center?

[NanaSora]

I think its a type of plum

[tammykisskiss]

do u need to have it can u go without it?

[NanaSora]

I dont bother with it since I can't get plums that easy lol

[KH2fanatic2010]

strawberry i thought

[FullMetalPipsqueak22]

no its a pickled plum but thats not the only thing you can put in a riceball they sometimes put fish and stuff

[MichikoAkaYuki]

Japanese pickled plums. They're very popular in Japan. :)

[FullMetalPipsqueak22]

they have them for every meal

[snailmaster1]

i love rice balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pinni137]

It's onigiri, not niguiri

[evilmofo000]

they use saly water because japanese rice is very sticky. its stickier then other rice. so u have to use saltwater to help mold

[CatLvr16]

its also to flavor the rice, rice can be bland : )

[Kari166]

LOL Someone messed up at 00:53. (the music)

[redtay333]

I'M HUNGRY NOW! LOL FAT KIDZ

[dare12288]

they make it look so easy

[blitzer404]

Ohhhh Wow!!! how creative >.>

[siiamesa]

we bi toes con ham on

[krezzz3]

will it taste as good as u look?

[yuenyinn]

where's the nori!!!???

[trek9090]

howcome you wet your hands in salt water?

[ronvins]

maybe the salt water helps the rice stay together or it gives it alittle more taste...i'm thinking of making these on my B-day but maybe putting like a blueberry in the middle or something....wonder if it would taste good?

[xPiffles]

because it keeps the rice from not sticking on your hands.

[ReynaldoRiv]

I always wanted to try these, but for the first time I actually thought about what that means.

It's just boiled rice with a something on the side, no different than what I eat everyday for diner on a straight-up plate lol

So, I was wondering:is there a version w/ coconut shavings and maybe fruit? THAT sounds like a treat, but just plain rice and filler sounds bland.

I'm gonna use Coconut tonight either way lol, But I'm just curious as to whether or not there was a Traditionally sweet version

[WithurShield]

The red thingy is called Umiboshi (aka sour plum/salt plum/pickled plum. I like to mash it up with green onions and fish flakes. MMMM!!

[googlywoogle]

thank you loads ive been trying to figure out how to make them for so long!!!

[imogenheap12345]

Oh ya its Onigiri not nigiri!

[sugarychan]

@imogenheap12345 it is also called nigiri ,

[tsukireimei100]

[Kiffy87]

Wow! You're my hero! XD

[imogenheap12345]

you can put tuna, meat such as fish and chiken and beef and other fillings. you also forgot to wrap it with seaweed. (but you dont have to)

[MrShlat]

[LittoBUbbo]

WAHHHHH I DETEST UMEBOSHI!!

[pretymisty14]

Did any1 notice that they spelt Onigiri wrong?

[sugarychan]

@pretymisty14 same , it is not wrong, it is called nigiri too

[jhvhsn1at]

@sugarychan Nigiri is sushi, I don't think the spelling is right it's either Onigiri or Omusubi.

[pupdowg]

yummy!!

[999wayevil]

what was the middle thing that she put in

[Kari166]

it was an umeboshi. (pickled plum. those things taste baaad.)

[pretymisty14]

your so right. My friend ate one.. I thought she was going to die!! I couldn't stomic it myself..

[Hiroko189]

Forgot to take out the seed of the umeboshi?

[j230i]

andrea is an boy name

[LightsCamraHollywood]

mmmm ...yummy!i want 1!

[tamarapantelina]

isnt this the food they eat in pokemon and called them donuts?

[ShadowVampira]

LOL, isn't it funny how they call them donuts. It's cause when they did the english voice overs, if they called it rice balls, american kids wouldn't have a clue of what they were talking about.

[NejiSupreme]

Huh...that made me laugh...then made me feel dumb becuase the Japanese had to simplify it for us American kids lol.

[anth427]

dang it i just tried to make one and it tasted like krap. You're supposed to COOK the rice B4 you make the ball, right?

[FIyingDumpling]

yea, you are suppose to cook the rice first

-___-

did you made them before you cooked the rice??? o____O

[project2501b]

How on Earth did you manage to make a rice ball without cooking the rice!? O.o

Great clip, by the way.  It was exactly what I was looking for! ^.^

[coolbeansjoey]

awesome..thanks for the lesson

[zerotruong]

Whoa that rocks! it takes me like 10mins to do that lol. As for ramolera, face the truth, where ever you come from it's not pretty how food is made.

[ramolera]

after seeing people make the rice balls i suddenly dont have an appetite anymore :(

[blackwinterweddings]

[sesshosama]

can you put chocolate in the middle? XD jajaja vaya a esa tia si que se le da bien hacerlo

[sna020891]

im pretty sure she used a pickled plum in the middle

[oldme06]

ummm, when you say pickled is it like...pickled in salt or vinegar? (sorry Im asking you a dumb question)

[sna020891]

lol vinegar. i think ive been to stores but i cant find them but yah im pretty sure vinegar .

[oldme06]

[anth427]

[nothappy]
