/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Cringe af weeb

I prefer plain doughnuts, never really been a fan of jelly filled 2bh

>>14196298
rude

Fatshaming plus developing a solid cultural food foundation before a period of industrial excess. A rich landscape and coast, but not enough agricultural land to lean too hard on grains. Japan was destined to have great food

>>14196295
What fillings did you have?

>>14196330
nothing haha but i used premium japanese pearl rice

its really so much better than all other kinds of rice

>>14196314
uwu senpai, they look sooooooo goooooood

>>14196295
More like oh niggery

>>14196295
>japanese cuisine is so unpretentious
probably the most pretentious cuisine i can think of

>>14196295
>unpretentious
They have toilets that play waterfall sounds so you can pretent nobody thinks you're taking a big stinky shit. The whole fucking country runs on pretentiousness, retard.

>>14196295
Those are jelly donuts, dumbass.

>>14196295
It's full of sugar you amerilard

>>14196295

literally the only "real" japanese """""cuisine"""" is sushi. The rest is bastardized chang food plus heaps of autism.

>>14196399
>pasta
China. Italy BTFO.
>burgers
Germany. America BTFO.

>>14196295
>How is Onigiri so good
What kind of answer do you think exists? You faggots ask the stupidest questions.

>>14196399
>sake
>china
Nope. While the Japanese almost certainly weren't the first to do rice wine sake is definitely their thing. AFAIK the rest is accurate.

>>14196496
isnt sake just rice wine

>>14196557
No. It's a unique brewing process.

>>14196295
Jellyfilled aren't my go to personally, sorry

>>14196295
local japanese in oakland place has some chicken katsu, umeboshi, and shiso onigiri. the combination is ridiculously good. the best i've had

Yeah, japanese Rice is pretty great. I Fell in Love with it when i was working at a Ramen Restaurant and we had it for lunch all the time. It's a shame it's so expensive though

>so unpretentious yet balanced
you really undermined your point there

>>14196295
Onigiri is one part of Japanese cuisine I've never gotten. I like sushi fine or miso, and red bean paste, but onigiri is just cold rice, maybe with a pickled plum in it or something. The American equivalent would be buttered toast.

>>14196350
mix canned tuna with mayonnaise/remoulade and wasabi for filling, make onigiri, and slab a piece of smoked salmon slice over it. eat with a little soy sauce.

I tried many onigiri, but this one is my favorite.

>>14196314
Well...you tried. 5/10 for being edible, but I recommend practicing your technique. Onigiri also tends to be better made with short grained rice, as it tends to stick better and not fall apart like medium and long grained rice.

>>14196399
You realize that Japan was heavily under the influence of Chinese culture for many centuries up until the Heian Period. It was at that point that a distinctly Japanese culture began to emerge. The Heian Period started in the year 794CE, and is characterized by the development of a distinctly Japanese writing system and the birth of what became Japanese culture. As a result, it is only natural that many culinary traditions of Japan have roots in China while being distinct enough for the Japanese to call their own. In fact, the Japanese have a long and storied history of taking foreign influences and adapting them to Japanese tastes.

>>14197860
Actually, onigiri can have any number of fillings.The most popular currently is tuna mayo.

>>14196314
kek

use short grain rice and buy pic related for 1 or 2 bucks from Amazon

>>14198328
Ironic that they're such racist/xenophobic pieces of garbage towards anybody who isn't a slope themselves.

>>14198553
It's difficult communicating with someone who has a rudimentary grasp of english, Deng. How many years of shitposting do you have left before they'll let you see your wife and kid again?

they were part of my daily routine in japan
unless you need a snack on the go you can't really appreciate it. It does the job much better than a sandwich and is even faster to eat

my favorites were pork belly and bacon and egg filling
and part of the fun is trying to open the wrapper with out ripping the nori to pieces, which I think I managed to do once

>>14198553
japan is a clean, crime free country where for the most part everyone gets along and has a shared history
what benefit would they have to wanting outsiders in the country?
only bad things can happen

>>14198589
>japan is a clean, crime free country where for the most part everyone gets along
do you really believe this?

>>14198589
lol
sure thing, weeabo

>>14198596
its true, and obviously you've never been there if you disagree

>>14198596
It's not 'crime-free', but it is infinitely fucking safer than the US.

>>14196378
>pretentious, adjective: attempting to impress by affecting greater importance or merit than is actually possessed.
how do you even breathe?

>>14196378
That isn't being pretentious, it's just that some Japanese...mostly ladies...are embarrassed by the sounds of their bodily functions.

>>14198580
Convenience store onigiri are clearly labeled on how to open them. Pull 1, 2, and then 3.

>>14198684

>Routinely accept blatant pedophilia/are fine with their high school girls being forced into prostitution
>Never apologized for war crimes against Korea and the Philippines
>Recently cyberbullied Hana Kimura into suicide for being a half breed Jap
Weebs btfo'd

>>14198843
If it's mostly the women being uppity then why can't Japanese men just have sex already and repopulate their low birth rates.
Oh, yeah wait, it's because they're too beta to take a shit without needing to cover up their farts.

>>14198869
war crimes do not exist, international law does not exist

>>14198852
this is true, but it's still tricky to pull the plastic apart without ripping the weed

>>14196378
>>14198843
>>14198880
The toilets play sounds because when public flush toilets were new women would flush continually to mask sounds. When washlets became ubiquitous it was an obvious feature to add.
Also onigiri are delicious. I used to pick up this two pack for breakfast at the 7-11 on my way to work.

>>14198843
there is a direct causal link between how evolved you are as a society and how private you are with your bathroom habits

taking a shit with the door open isn't some kind of virtue

>Take rice
>Make it a triangle
wow amaze

>>14198887
Based. International law is a spook.

>>14196399

Sushi actually originated in China.

>>14198339
and people can put toppings on toast
I, for one, like a touch of chicken liver pate

>>14196378
lol do you even know what the word 'pretentious' means

>>14198936
As much as I want to love Japanese food, I can't. Outside of Ramen and Okonomiyaki most of the food has the same flavor. It's not bad by no means but it isn't isn't on my bucket list when I think of foods to try out. Why is Japanese food taste the same?

>>14197016
is that curry paste onigiri?

>>14198589
>japan is a clean, crime free country
ikr. those murders and rapists in Japan are ch*nese.

>>14196312

>>14197016
Ive made onigiri like this, I used crab and salmon. Pretty good.

>>14198406
I just let my cooked rice cool off then take a small scoop and a half or so and put it in the corner of a zip lock bag, squish-mold it into shape with the help of the bag, pop it out wrap a rectangle of nori, bam clean hands and a nice neat triangle.

>>14198869
>pedophilia
Do you mean actual pedophilia or high school girls? Not having puritan american hangups isnt a bad thing. If you mean actual pedophilia, then youll go to jail for raping a kid. Not sure what else you want.
>war crimes
Who cares
>hafu
Sounds like a good way to keep foreigners out. Two of your points that japan is bad and needs to accept foreigners is that "they are mean to foreigners".

>>14200063
You’re meant to add fillings you fucking retard

I don't understand how the Japanese can make their jelly doughnuts out of rice. It seems a little weird to me.

>>14200063
>let it cool off
yeah no, if I would use cool rice, I could just use my fucking hands to make a perfect onigiri, but I use it fresh out of the rice cooker. so I use pic related. easier and better to fill.

>>14196314
Isn't there supposed to be a filling?

>>14198406
>using a mold instead of hand folding over 1000 times like a true samurai
BAKA

>>14200093
how do you even make American jelly doughnuts? aren't doughnuts by definition supposed to have a hole in the middle? do you fill them around the hole? seems not really... practical

>>14200621
There doesn't have to be. A little bit of salt in the water you rinse your hands with while you press them to shape is enough.

>>14196399
eating raw fish is Korean and I say that as a sickening jap hapa who hates Korean sashimi

>>14200092
>>14200280
You assume I don't add filling, although if I'm making them mixed with filling already yeah I'll make some plain ones too. I don't let it get cold, but steaming hot rice 1 burns your hands 2 unless your mold is MEANT to take really hot stuff in it you can degrade the plastic easily and end up poisoning yourself over time.

>>14201240
wait, so you don't make a filling in the middle, you mix the entire onigiri with the filling, and press it in form? well haven't tried it, but sounds ok too. well, taste distribution is more even that way, ok...

...onigiri form plastic will not melt from warm rice.
that shit is food save.

>>14197860
>The American equivalent would be buttered toast.
More like a sandwich, I'd say, given the variety of fillings.
