Everyday Onigiri 101: Healthy, Easy Japanese Riceball Recipes

With my great love of rice i thought why not give onigiri a try? And this book has great translated steps im so excited to try these recipes💖🍙 very happy!

This is a first review upon receiving the book today. I have not yet tried any recipes. However, I am an experienced cook (home and professional) and in looking through this book I can see it will produce wonderful results. The book is small in size but very thorough and beautiful with it's photography and both English and Japanese instructions. I can't wait to use these recipes. I will try to update my review once I have tried them. I think anyone interested in onigiri, for whatever reason, will find this book delightful.

I may not be able to read this I am seeking memes to do so

Basically tells you everything you need to know about onigiri from start to finish. Making rice, filling and forming onigiri, how to wrap with nori, how to pack them in a lunch box... I was most satisfied with the sheer number of fillings (filled in the middle, mixed in with the rice, or wrapped around the outside) provided by this book. All I need now is a good book on onigirazu and I'll never loose any weight again from all the carbs I'll be eating.On the other hand, you could scour the internet for enough information that it might not be worth the purchase price of the book. This book DOES offer value I've not found online, but everyone has their own preference for how much that information is worth. It's kind of pricey for what it is, but that's because it's an import. If this were ever released on Kindle for like, a few bucks, then it's a total no brainer. (Unless someone decides to dedicate an entire blog to just onigiri!)

I adore this book! The recipes are so lovely, and have given me lots of options when looking for a quick meal prep for the week.

The onigiris are all super cute and creative! The recipes range from classic onigiris that are super easy to make to more creative ones. Even the unique ones are broken down into simple steps so it's easy to follow. Some of the recipes might require certain ingredients that are harder to find in the US but there are so many to choose from...101 so you're bound to find something you can make!Even if you don't make onigiris this book is so well designed that it makes for a wonderful gift for a friend for someone who loves Japanese food or planning a trip to Japan. (It has an extensive Japanese food glossary terms in the back too!)

I bought this book from Kinokuniya, a Japanese bookstore in San Francisco. My daughter and I love onigiri and learned how to make it well using this book. The Japanese text is helpful is practicing reading Japanese, and the English translations below the instructions are also helpful.The book's many illustrations complement and clarify the instructions.If you're going to make onigiri, I highly recommend also buying a set of onigiri molds. Just search Amazon for "onigiri mold" and buy the kind with a bottom you can press on to eject the molded rice, like this one: https://www.amazon.com/LW-Triangle-Sushi-Onigiri-White/dp/B07WT9M31J/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1D9ML2XI8FX1N&dchild=1&keywords=onigiri+mold&qid=1612910563&sprefix=onigiri%2Caps%2C224&sr=8-6.

As this book is bilingual, it's a perfect gift for Japanese or English speakers (or even better, someone who's learning!) and the translations are clear and natural. It opens with an explanation about how to come up with your own onigiri ingredients by thinking about the combinations, how to shape and wrap them, and how to store them. While a lot of it deals with very Japanese ingredients that may be difficult to find overseas, there are some great fusion ideas and it encourages readers to experiment with what they have available.

The pages are exactly like the photos in preview. It has recipes in Japanese and English in a well-spoken tone, alongside an upclose photo of each onigiri. There's instructions to make different shaped rice balls and multiple ways of applying the fillings. At the back of the book is a 4 page glossary of ingredients. This is one of the best recipe books I've encountered for any cuisine. Great resource for beginners to intermediate. Wish I bought this earlier. Someone finally mentions why salt is added when shaping onigiri - for taste and preservation. I was searching for a moister version of yaki-onigiri and this one worked on first try. Next will be the pb yaki version!
