Hey /ck/,

I made onigiri (Japanese rice balls) today. They turned out good and it was probably the easiest thing I've made in my life. Ratio of taste/ease was unreal. So I was wondering, are there any other foods of the Asian variety (most interested in Japanese) that are comparable in terms of quickness and easiness? Also, any types simply for onigiri? Again, mine came out good, but I found it was lacking in flavor as I bit around the furikake seasoning. Is there a better way to season it besides drizzling it on/do you have any recommendations of other ways to flavor it by seasoning or filling?

You need to stop the bukkake with the furikake.

(Your riceballs have too much shit on them.)

Try embedding a small dollop of something in the middle of your riceball. This way you don't have to coat the outside with something hideous to get flavor in. Also be aware that onigiri IS mostly rice. So it will taste a lot like rice.

This was my first time using furikake. The bottle had no instructions as to how much to use so I sprinkled it on which wasn't the most effective method.

Beyond filling the ball though, is there not a way to alter the dullness of the rice's flavor? Clearly these are supposed to taste a lot like rice, but I feel it needs something to separate it from merely being a squished up collection of rice.

>rice balls

This isn't snow, god damn it. What retarded idea compels you pathetic sacks of shit to form your rice into fucking balls. Just eat it in a bowl like you normally do, holy shit.

if you make the rice into a ball, then you can put that wacky green seaweed crap on it.

Then you can eat the shit without it getting all over your hands.

It's pretty practical, maaaan.

I make my jelly doughnuts with minced pickled garlic and a bit of the pickling liquid mixed throughout before shaping.
