i am floored by the professionalism in the lady chef (apologies, i don't know her name), the attention to detail in the presentation of the food, and the thoroughness of going through all steps and throwing in advice and the occasional trivia tidbit or two. i love these videos, thank you for posting.
Just an fyi, chef has never given her name, to keep her social life separated from youtube life so she can keep a normal life, she has always been referred as chef and its quite fitting
Yes, thinking about the Voice of Francis. I must say a heartfelt thank you for providing such a clear translation of the instructions and a special hug for keeping us in touch with Chef's progress. Around the world we really do appreciate all you are doing to help her.
Onigiri is such a wonderful food. So easy to make and you can put so many things in it. This brings back so many good memories. I want to go back to Japan SOOOO badly. Fantastic news about Chef! Very glad to hear she is doing so well and looking forward to her return to teaching me how to make delicious food.
I really really love onigiri. It's so hard to find here in Canada, but sometimes at conventions they sell them. I've had the tuna mayo and an onigiri with mushrooms. I once tried to make the salmon kind but it didn't look so good. Even though it tasted fine. Thank you for showing us so many new onigiri!
It doesnt seem that hard to make, do you have difficult finding ingredients over there? I would make mine right now, but im close to christmas and im saving some space for my fillings 😏🦃
Greetings from Argentina! My boyfriend and I love the show. He gave me two bento boxes for my birthday. I can't wait to surprise him with this onigiri recipe. Thank you Chef. Get well soon :)
Always love her lessons. I thought I knew how to make onigiri, but she proved that there was more to learn! I hope sensei/ chef continues to get well and feels better. Thank you so much.
Dear Chef! I tried onigiri with nori for the first time recently and I grew to love the nori taste! I added peas to my rice as it cooked and the sweetness compliments nori and rice very well. My dream came true!
I have been going through such a rough time lately, and then I found these videos. They help me so much, I watch them at the end of the day and just think about everything. Thank you so much Chef, please feel better
The tuna mayo onigori would be a great one to start with since it doesn't involve any cooking aside from measuring the ingredients for the rice. My 4 year old niece has been cooking with mom for 2 years now and can put together a pizza (with pre-made dough ball) with simple supervision. It's all about getting them involved in the simple steps, having patience, and encouraging their input.
Yes! I knew there would be news from Chef at the end of the video!!! I'm very happy everytime I read about the progress you make. My mother will visit me next week and I'm going to let her have a taste of my favorite dishes, that is I'll have her choose among your videos! ! Gambatte ne!
I had a huge smile on my face when I read chef got to see Frances. I'm so glad you got to go home, when your recovering from a major medical issue and can't go home, your home stars to represent much more than your "castle" "temple" being able to visit can give you hope and motivation. We often forget how much the basic simple things really mean. I have been where you are Chef, you're a fighter and I promise you will once again find the peace in the simple thing, especially cooking We miss U
I love this videos!!! I watch them and I get so hungry! It always looks soo delicious! One day I will go to Japan, find a Japanese cost mart and stock up on these ingredients with a 10 yr supply
So incredibly happy to hear that Chef is doing better. Hoping for a very speedy recovery, and I'm looking forward to seeing her on the show again! She's such a lovely woman, always puts a smile on my face!
I'm glad she is doing better, one of my friends just recommended this cooking show to me. I enjoying everyone of them and I hope Chef will be able to make more videos when she gets better.
Thank you again for the update! I'm so glad that chef was able to go home for a day and see Francis. I bet he was very happy! Best wishes and get well soon!
So happy that Chef is getting better, upwards and onwards!! Hope you get to go home soon! Love your videos and counting the days till we see you again!!
Hope you can go home soon and stay there, it's good that you are recovering well. I remember this episode when it came out last, I've made these thanks to your instructions, they are so good. Please come home soon so you can teach us more tasty dishes.
You should make a video on how to make the steamed rice you always use! I also love your videos I would like to go to Japan after college and this helps me see what I am going to be eating.
I've tried making onigiri multiple times and i've really become a fan of them, including these excellent recipes and "inventing" a few of my own toppings... It's a very good dish to get creative and experiment with... It's amazingly cheap and easy to make and very filling... Just after 1 or 2 of these, and you're full :D Another good filling is taking a piece of skinned salmon and frying it along with 50 ml soy sauce, 1-2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1-2 tablespoons of mirin and a small cluster of enoki mushrooms. Adding a small handful of finely chopped spring onion at the end gives it that extra oomph and crunch :)
"On January 15th, Chef sustained serious injuries while riding her bicycle in the suburbs of Tokyo. She was rushed to the ICU by helicopter." but the latest update said: "Chef was able to meet Francis and stay at home for one day after getting permission to leave the hospital. She and her family enjoyed a sushi party and Chef went back to the hospital the next day. She was very happy since it was her first time to meet Francis after the accident."
i already saw this video...so the first thing i did was skip til the end to see more update on chef..and i glad shes getting so much better :) hope to see u soon chef
This looks so very interesting. Always wondered how these various foods were made. Now I know. Good news too that Chef has been able to go home for a day and finally was able to catch up with her beloved Francis, the dog. She is making great progress and we all wish her well.
I just adore how the dog started to nod off at some point and when it saw the food it just perked right up.
i always imagine the dog licking her hands clean in between each shot :3

that's my opinion as well. She does an awesome job
Just an fyi, chef has never given her name, to keep her social life separated from youtube life so she can keep a normal life, she has always been referred as chef and its quite fitting
Her name is Chef.
I tried the salmon and the tuna mayo and they are both delicious!

So wonderful to hear Chef got to go home to enjoy sushi with family and Francis, even if it was just one day. We love you Chef!

Wow the miso with mirin and green onion is sensational! Thank you very much!
Wish i could get miso where i live 😥

I like to imagine the host Francis is telling her how to make the food HE wants,
she only tastes a little, the rest Francis eats off-set.
Thank you again for the update! I'm so glad that chef was able to go home for a day and see Francis. I bet he was very happy! Best wishes and get well soon!

I will check it out when I visit Japan, two things I don't doubt.
Chef makes it look so easy. I tried these last week and they are delicious but I defiitely don't have the skill to shape these well yet!
Thank-you for the continued updates. Best wishes for chef and her family. Think of you often!
I am so glad to hear that Chef was able to come home for a day to visit Francis and her family. So good to hear that she is recovering.

I read she was an accident, but never found out what happened. So glad she’s ok. I only discovered this channel in 2021.
