Onigiri? What is that?

misheeru · 2010-10-19 05:41:09

They are sometimes called rice balls? Maybe you've heard of them?

These:

Do I pelt people with them or do I eat them?

misheeru · 2010-10-19 05:48:50

You Eat Them!!!

bobbym · 2010-10-19 05:56:04

First they look larger than a snowball. Second rice gets hard quickly. Third what goes on top?

misheeru · 2010-10-19 06:00:41

What do you mean? And yes, it gets hard, thats my you don't store if for longer then a day or so.

Is there some topping for that?

misheeru · 2010-10-19 06:05:06

I've seen some people use... sesame seed I think. Plus you run salt on your hands when you make them.

Also, they can have fillings.

bobbym · 2010-10-19 06:08:25

I see. What goes inside?

misheeru · 2010-10-19 06:16:08

Umeboshi is one really common one. Its Japanese pickled plum. I've never tried it, but I think its rather sour. Also salted salmon or canned tuna are possibilities.

I've also heard of leeks being used, and I think cod.

I make mine plain usually, but I've made it with salmon or cooked spam. I've never heard spam being used before, but it works really well. I just dab it so it isn't so greasy, and chop into little chunks.

bobbym · 2010-10-19 06:19:40

Stuffing it with tuna sounds good. Actually I have never thought of tuna and rice. Maybe you could put chicken in there?

misheeru · 2010-10-19 06:38:59

Hmmm, im not sure.

bobbym · 2010-10-19 06:41:35

Chicken and rice are a good mix. You do not like chicken?

misheeru · 2010-10-19 06:43:07

Yeah. I just can't really picture it in a ball with rice and seaweed.

bobbym · 2010-10-19 06:49:12

You did not mention the seaweed. Chicken goes with everything.

misheeru · 2010-10-19 07:23:57

Seaweed. Its the cute little square at the bottom of each of them in the picture? See it?

bobbym · 2010-10-19 07:27:14

I thought that was a holder of some sort.

misheeru · 2010-10-20 05:56:24

Nope. That makes sense though. But that should give you and idea of how big they are. You've seen the rectangular seaweed strips before right?

bobbym · 2010-10-20 05:58:39

Nope, I have never seen seaweed strips.

misheeru · 2010-10-20 06:12:24

Oh. Well they are rectangular. And I don't have any in my house right now, but if I had to guess, I'd say the short sides are 1 and a half to 2 inches long, and the long sides are about 4 or 5 inches long.

bobbym · 2010-10-20 06:13:35

Okay, and they are seaweed?

misheeru · 2010-10-20 06:15:56

Yes. Seaweed strips that are flat and thin. They get softer and limp when wet and naturally stick to Japanese rice, so the adhere to the onigiri's shape and stay there, and go back to they're original crunchiness.

bobbym · 2010-10-20 06:17:11

Japanese rice? What is that?

misheeru · 2010-10-20 06:18:39

The sticky white rice used used in sushi, onigiri and the staple food for Japanese people?

bobbym · 2010-10-20 06:20:19

Yes, I remember reading about it. I just assumed it was like ordinary white rice. I take it that it is not...
