    Onigiri: Japanese Rice Balls Recipe

    Published: Nov 24, 2015 · Modified: Dec 7, 2020 by Pailin Chongchitnant · This post may contain affiliate links

    This is an extra special episode! My amazing Japanese friend Hana, who was my co-host on the TV Series One World Kitchen, is here to teach us a fail-proof way to make the quintessential Japanese lunch box item: Onigiri. This is a bit of a longer episode because Hana shares with us SO MUCH interesting stuff including:

    • How to properly cook Japanese rice
    • How to choose the most versatile miso
    • Japanese mayonnaise
    • Hana's favourite condiment "yuzu kosho"
    • Traditional Japanese pickles, and...
    • Other cultural tidbits!
