Hmmmm Jelly filled doughnuts
Who are you, Brock from Pewter city????
Can you make me 4 of your signature jelly-filled doughnuts?
no these are hamburgers
Wow the interviewer in this one really make notes of everything
Oh how i miss Japan. I had a 7/11, family mart, or lawson's, 100yen Onigiri every day.
Truthfully it aint mindblowing. Can get similar tasting ones in Malaysia family-mart, Aeon malls. don't know bout ur country tho.
Same. Last time I was in Japan, the 7/11 turned out to be wayyyyy better than the ones here in the states, and way more convenient at that
Here you'll pay dearly at a restaurant for Onigiri. In Japan you can purchase it at 7-11, Family Mart, Lawson's for as little as Y100 or as expensive as Y300 for the "expensive" ones. My mother would make them for road trips to take with us. Probably one of the most inexpensive, satisfying and filling snack. Unless you are at some shi-shi restaurant in the U.S.
just a side note: these are Michelin star chefs making rice balls, they're prolly really good but as any Japanese person will tell you the best rice balls are always made by a mother or family member. You don't have to use super expensive rice or ingredients, the main thing that matters is the love and care that you put into them. For me, not being Japanese, my ex made the best rice balls because she put her heart into making them with the things that I loved which made them the best rice balls on earth even though the ingredients weren't expensive. So please don't think that you have to put out a ton of money to make delicious rice balls.
well she did say the "best" onigiri is a subjective topic
This made me laugh a bit.
Oooh I saw her in an ep of chef’s table! good episode :)
From my experience, convenience store onigiri in Japan taste better than japanese restaurant onigiri in USA
Jon Stark this is facts
MSG
GREAT TIPS!
Damn TH-cam! I'm literally making onigiri right now and this is in my suggested list.
delicious!! we just tried Chef Nakayama's new restaurant N/Soto in our recent youtube video, exquisite and amazing!
Just received my MOST expensive rice in the mail. Now waiting on my Japanese salt. Can't wait to make this!
santolify what rice is it?
PRO TIP: Wet your hands before you put the salt in your hands so the rice doesn't stick to your hands.
santolify hows the salt different than normal supermarket salt?
@@kabayangila eat 9 regular salt riceballs, then 1 sea salt riceballs and see the difference
I like how everyone is taking you seriously
"But I feel like..."
I don't get Onigiri, I tried it about 5 times and everytime I felt the rice to filling ratio is off...too much rice (?). Can I play around with that ratio? Any tips please.
just use less rice and more filling, you don't have to follow a recipe for this lol, as long as you can cover up the filling with the rice you're good to go :D
edit: also if you want to use a small amount of filling, use something that has a very strong flavor
The star of 🍙 is the rice.
Too many additions of filling and it becomes unrecognisable like “kitchen sink” pizza, IMO.
However, if you like it and it makes you happy, that’s what counts.
My grandma made mine with crispy tiny whitebait and seaweed. I dream of it still.
Exactly correct!
What they forgot to show is wetting the hands before putting salt on the hands ☝️
It's like sandwich, portable, and can be eaten by one hand.
is it just me or is the color really weird and washed out in this video?
its done deliberately during editing
Love onigiri, but can't make it myself. The sticky rice just seems to not want to mold itself into the proper shape. Maybe too moist.
i like to premake them, put them in the fridge, and put the nori on them when i want to eat them, i have lunch for 3 days like this
this aint nothing on brocks onigiri
🍙
wish i could train under a michelin star cheff....it would be awkward cause i suck at cooking and im like 26!
You don't need to be a Michelin Chef to make Onigiri. You need to be a Michelin Chief to charge ten times what you normally would for Onigiri.
Git gud
Are they family?
rice to filling ratio seems harsh.
For Japanese people, it's the rice that is important with the filling being complementary. The fillings normally being quite salty, the rice tones down the overall saltiness of the filling. If you have ever tasted a picked plum, your reaction to the saltiness/sourness might be akin to taking a bite of a lemon slice. A little goes a long way.
The rice is the main component of any Onigiri. The fillings are just the supporting role.
pokemon?
I bet 7-11 and family mart is still better
I used to stop at Family Mart at the train station on my way to work in the morning and grab a couple for a morning snack. 7-11, Family Mart, Lawsons. They all compete against one another for the best Onigiri and each one does better at different ones. I only wish they would sell them in the U.S.
you're on, I'll takemy bet on the 7-11 and family mart onigiri, you can have these michelin onigiri 😅 btw just like it says, it's comfort food, it's food where you feel welcome, relax, warm and easy. those street vendors ramen are better than the ramen in fancy restaurant 😆
She is sure stingy with the filling. My family used way more.
Iida-Nakayama. Never seen a Japanese-combined name before. Just imagine if a Thai couple decided to do this modern shit as well. Good luck to their IDs.
