Comments
Before I try making Onigiri with filling, I wanted to test this recipe first. I've now tried it twice. Somehow I find the rice too dry or too bland. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Too little water in the rice? Not enough furikake? How can I tell if the rice is right?
Hallo Dirk, Cooking rice can sometimes be really frustrating. You have to find the perfect method. That’s why most Asians prefer to rely on a rice cooker. You just put the rice in with a measuring cup, add water, and push a button. There are already rice cookers starting at €20-30. It’s probably not the Furikake, since Onigiri should work even without the Furikake. Best regards, Ryusei from RyuKoch
