Probably you just don't know how to use your hands to make rice into a proper shape. You will learn how to do it in no time.<br />I made onigiri for my daughter this morning, and I realized that I didn't make onigiri in the way I described here. I will correct the description later. (I thought I was clumsy with my wording! (laugh). It's sometimes difficult to describe what you do almost instinctively, right?)Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-70910196457276938262012-01-26T03:41:43.587+09:002012-01-26T03:41:43.587+09:00Hiroyuki, I am too clumsy ;-) I have tried several...Hiroyuki, I am too clumsy ;-) I have tried several times making onigiri with hands and my friend offered me this surprising tool (I had never heard about it before) because I kept on complaining about the horrible shapes I obtained with my hands. <br />Thank you for precising the additions.

Salmon flakes<br />2. Cod roe furikake<br />3. Yukari (red shiso) furikake <br />2. and 3. are shown here:<br />http://hiro-shio.blogspot.com/2010/03/furikake-etc.html<br />(Yukari in the photo contains sesame seeds, but I used sesame seed-less yukari.)<br /><br />Such a "shaper" is superior for sanitation reasons, but I really have never wanted to use one to make onigiri. This may sound illogical, but I think many Japanese would feel the same way.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-81018655111104044082012-01-25T02:10:35.483+09:002012-01-25T02:10:35.483+09:00Hiroyuki, I love onigiri, but I am too lazy to mak...Hiroyuki, I love onigiri, but I am too lazy to make them in my hands since a friend offered me a plastic onigiri triangle shaper ;-) What are your onigiri with?Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-2540498657569028012012-01-25T01:00:23.556+09:002012-01-25T01:00:23.556+09:00Here in Texas, when people talk about 'soul fo...Here in Texas, when people talk about 'soul food' they usually mean southern-style cooking, made with lots of love, that they remember eating when they were kids. When I hear the term 'soul food', I think of onigiri, because my grandmother often made them for me. Usually they were simple rice, stuffed with umeboshi and wrapped in nori. To this day, every time I eat onigiri, I think of my grandmother.
