Onigiri is a Japanese comfort food made from steamed rice formed into the typical triangular, ball, or cylinder shapes and usually wrapped with nori(dried seaweed). Stuffed with a a variety of fillings and flavors, these rice balls make an ideal quick snack and are a fun alternative to sandwitches for lunch.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.
Miso soup is a traditional Japanese soup. It's base is "dashi" (Japanese fish stock) and Miso paste. Common added ingredients are Tofu, Green onion and deep‐fried tofu but differs by personal preference. The type of miso is different from region. In western and Easter Japan white miso is mostly used.
We will make 3 types of rice balls, and Tamagoyaki and Miso soup.
The rice balls are made with the popular tuna mayonnaise, salmon, and sesame kelp.
We will use a clay pot for rice, and teach you how to wash it, how long to soak it in water, and how long to steam it. You can cook fluffy and delicious rice by using a clay pot.
I also make Miso soup and Tamagoyaki while the rice is cooking.
For the miso soup, we use Kyoto's famous "TOFU" and wakame seaweed.
For Tamagoyaki, you can choose whichever you like from 2 types: rolled omelet with dashi stock or sweet omelet.
