I like it with salmon or classic filled with a salty prune.

An other tasty alternative are onigiri which have rice with special mixed herbs.

mmmmmmm onigiri. I have tried to make some but they came out strange

I like onigiri and have attempted to make it once but it kind of fell apart >.>

Did you use short-grain rice? :) It never falls apart because it's sticky.

I LOVE onigiri... my host mom gave it to me like every other day for school. :)

I had so many types but I mostly had tuna onigiri... The only one I didn't like was a ham onigiri. My host mom's friend worked at a lawson so we got free food like every 2 weeks :D

maybe tomorow I will be making some onigiri :vsign: I hope mum likes my onigiri, and I hope I like it too:mtongue:

what kind of rice do you use and how do you cook it? is it like sticky rice?

Use short-grain or your onigiri will probably fall apart. You will follow the instructions on the package. But I recommend that you use a little less water if you are cooking rice just for the onigiri. Soft-cooked rice will ruin your onigiri, I promise.

i've used long grain rice before, only cuz i ran out of short grain
it was okay, fell apart but it still tasted good.=D

or when my friend and i attempt to make sushi and then we give up, we take out our onigiri moulds and make those instead. XD we're just lazy.

i have yet to try to make some out of short grain rice .. but i use long grain rice most all the time .. and have little issues making them ...

i am sure there is a difference in the taste of the rice ...

so far i haven't used a filling of any kind .. i normally make mine a little smaller then normal ... and just mix salt and seasonings with the rice before i form them into balls...

they hold their shape good ...
