Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Umeboshi onigiri

    • mjes on September 27, 2019

      Very basic onigiri recipe - also very tasty if you like umeboshi paste. Warning - introduce it slowly to people who are unfamiliar with umeboshi.

  • Umeboshi kimchi onigiri

    • mjes on September 22, 2019

      In a Japanese bento box class, our instructor told us to omit the umeboshi - Americans didn't like it. So of course, we all tried it ... starting with a very small amount then working up to the level we each personally enjoyed. Why do I mention this? Because both the umeboshi and the kimchi are acquired tastes. Don't mindlessly add the amounts called for ... taste and adjust as necessary and you'll find this to be an absolutely delightful rice ball. If you are familiar with both products, my apology for the caution. I used the local Firefly Kimchi rather than a Korean product.

  • Braised pork belly onigiri

      Just used Pork Belly part, to use with stir fry, very good!

  • Furikake onigiri

    • mjes on September 22, 2019

      What to do when your niece gifts you a variety pack of JFC furikakes - nori fumi, katsuo fumi, seto fumi, shiso fumi (my favorite) . . .? Obviously you test them all out with furikake onigiri. And this is precisely the instructions to follow. And, yes, I still consider anything shiso a favorite. I would expect each person having their personal favorite furikake - home made or store bought.
