Comments and ratings are love!

Ok this is Zarah and Mabel. We are planning to continue this cooking program with no name. If you have a suggestion for the name, please PM me.

In this episode we're making Onigiri (Japanese rice balls)!
What you need:
3 dl Japanese rice (1.2 cups)
normal rice will NOT be good enough... it will just fall apart, tried it once, didn't work.
Nori
Canned Tuna
Salt
Mayonaise
Water

Utilities:
Rice Cooker/Saucepan
Deciliter cup
Bowl
Plastic spoon
Plate
Cloth (as a coaster)

Cooking the rice
When we cooked the rice we used 3 dl rice and 3.5 dl water. Don't forget to rinse the rice a few times before cooking it.

-You CAN make it without the nori put the rice will stick to your hands
-You CANNOT make proper onigiri with normal rice
-You CAN have different filling

Blue Diamond rice can be used. It's perfect.

@Zadamanim Onigiri is just onigiri, plural or singular. In English, it's called a riceball (singular) or riceballs (plural). Pointing that out just in case you didn't know. Or were you only posting that comment just so you could put "Engrish" in a sentence?

@TheShadowsyaoran Chicken, shrimp, spam, pickled veges, salmon~ Be careful with the heat of the rice and cold seafood~ the temperatures are perfect for bacteria so either have it hotter than lukewarm or cold, imo

@MsIdontcare18 If you made it this way then there's no mirin in it~ Mirin is cooked on the stove with sugar and some water which sweetens and flavours the rice! it deinitley makes a difference. [Cooking it removes the alcohol]

[MsIdontcare18]

why is it that onigiri that we bought from the store is much more delicious than the one we made? is there some kind of secret ingredient?

[TheShadowsyaoran]

I've got two small questions, first you don't have to use tuna right so do you have any recomendations outside of that?

and second, do you eat them cold or do they have to be lukewarm???
