| Yaki-onigiri with Japanese pickles |
Yaki-onigiri means roasted rice ball.
Onigiri is a very popular,typical Japanese food.It's easy to eat,so from ancient times people always took onigiri to eat while on pilgrimage or traveling from place to place.
People can buy ready made onigiri from any of the numerous convenience stores,bento(lunch box)shops or supermarkets.It's also important to include onigiri in the traditional bento(lunch box),to be taken on any outdoor expedition.
Today,I will teach you how to make Yaki-onigiri with the following pictures.
Ingredients (for 2 people)
4 triangle shaped onigiri
2tbsp shoyu
1tbs mirin or water
when you make onigiri,it's very important to wet your hands and press very firmly.Otherwise onigiri will fall apart.
with a teaspoon,you can use rest of sauce to baste the onigiri.
(it should take about 10 min)
Eat with vegetable soup(lower right),boiled spinach(upper right) and
Japanese omelette(upper left).
Next time,I will show you how to make Japanese omelette!
How are you Ninja-san?

返信削除I am so glad that you cooked the Yaki-onigiri.
I think usually my photo about food is golden brouwn so I realized how much I cook with shoyu in my daily life.
I appreciate your challenging!!!
Thanks for sharing Japanese recipes. I must ( it's something like a moral duty) learn about Japanese culture, and maybe this might be a good step in the gastronomy section.
返信削除Thank you, as well, because this blog, also helps me focusing on learning japanese (I'm currently teaching myself to write kanji).
P.s. Your English is quite good.
Hi 01001000,
返信削除Your name is quite funny,anyway thank you for compliment about my blog.I am greedy,so when you come here you could see my favorite food!!!
I worried about to use Japanese words in here,but your comment relieved me.
Thanks.
Hehe, my name comes from the representation of the letter H in binary format. But on of these days I'm going to change it, because it sometimes confuses people.
返信削除Anyway, about writing in Japanese, maybe you could write Japanese words with Ruby characters: the kanji and the pronunciation on top of it. You would save space, and it would look great.
Anyway, that's just an opinion, in case you decide to go further, on using Japanese words.
Hi 01001000,
返信削除Thank you for your constructive criticism!!!
What kind of rice do you use to make the balls? Do I have to use sticky rice? ^.^
返信削除Hi Naomi,
返信削除This is not sticky rice,just Japanese rice.I am not sure but I guess Japanese rice might be a quite sticky than other countries one.
