Mmmmmm.. Jelly donuts! Who wants one?

>>17104518
Growing up as a second-generation American, I legit thought these were what jelly donuts looked like after watching that episode as a kid. Like, I thought they looked really weird for donuts and didn't get the joke, but I had no idea they weren't actually donuts until I watched some Hollywood film where cops bought donuts.

I'd like to try one some day.

The only onigiri I've had have been salmon ones (and ones with just rice and furikake but that's boring). Are there any other good fillings?

Bean Paste

Well they could be the equivalent of "Jelly Donuts" if you put something sweet inside it.

>>17104556
I like teriyaki chicken. A mall I used to frequent would have sizable ones for $2 and I would usually buy one if I was hungry.

I like umeboshi. You can spread an umeboshi across multiple onigiri to save money and reduce sodium.

my favorite is tuna mayo

I could really go for an extremely bouncy sandwich right about now

What's it like to eat a big compressed mound of rice? I've eaten rice crackers before and they were gross.

rice crackers don't taste like rice at all.

The ones I hate were very boring, sushi is good because the fresh seafood/fish /rice ration is pretty high so the taste is very appealing, meanwhile onigiri feel like a cheap knockoff to fill your stomach, like a crappy sandwich you make when you have no time.

Beginners should use a rice ball maker without trying too much.

How to Make Onigiri - Quick and Easy

I've thought about making actual jelly donuts that looked like onigiri. With chocolate to mimic the seaweed because actual seaweed on donuts would be pretty gross.

I think I want to try making those.

I use those little plastic bags that are like ziploc bags but without the zip to mould my rice balls.

When I'm really lazy I don't make rice balls, I make sushi roll type of things, since it's easier to roll up a big thing of rice than make a bunch of little rice balls.

Yaki onigiri is very fragrant scent of burnt soy sauce

konbu

What's the black stuff in the middle? I thought it was chocolate cake when I first saw it.

It's Tsukudani made from kombu(kelp). Tsukudani is a recipe of Japanese salty-sweet boiled down ingredients with sugar and soy sauce.

Where did you buy
Famari maato?

>>17123484
It is sold at any convenience store because of orthodox filling for onigiri.
