おにぎり

こんばんは！

こんばん、わたしはおにぎりをたべました。


That is my onigiri. It isn't the prettiest oni giri, but it was tasty, and Rowan liked it too.

To make this, all you need is rice, sesame seeds, salt, nori (dried seaweed), and some sort of filling. I used beef, which is not very traditional, but I like it.

The first step is of corse to cook the rice. Then comes the hard(ish) part.

You must flatten the rice, and then create a dimple in it to put in the filling. (On my first try, the beef was too wet, so the rice came apart a little when I put it in.) While doing this, your hands should be wet, so that the rices sticks to itself and not to your hands. Also, in order to put in the salt, I simply poured salt into my hands, and then rubbed them together before molding the rice into a bal. (Onigiri should be triangular, but oh well.) I then repeated this process with the sesame. At the end, my hands were covered in a delicious salty sesame mixture.

We went out to get more rice to take the picture :D.

Soon, i'm going to try to make other Japanese foods, like beef teriyaki and sushi.
