Cooking Japanese: Onigiri ♥

Hi there (^.^)v

it's a cooking post again this time ♥

Some time ago I tried to make onigiri (riceballs) for the frist time.

I think they turned out quite good,

so let me show you how to make them:

 This is what you need:

- rice (obviously)

- nori (dried sea weed sheets)

- something to fill them (I used furikake for flavour)

and optional: an onigiri mold

First, you need to cook the rice.

When it is done, the rice need to cool down to become more sticky.

Because I used furikake to give flavour to the rice,

I devided it into two and sprinkled it with furikake.

I used two different flavours:

the left is with various vegetables

and the right on with perilla (a kind of herb)

Then you are ready to shape the rice into onigiri ^.^

Usually they have a triangle form

like the onigiri mold I used

I wraped them into wrapping film to store them in fridge over night.

You can eat them right after shaping them, but I wanted

to take them with me next day for Fashion Walk in Hamburg.

So on the next day, I wrapped them into nori sheets.

(it's better to do this briefly before eating them,

because the nori soaks a lot water and becomes quite chewy then)

They people who tried them, said the were good ^-^

But I still need to improve a lot.

Next time I will try to fill them x3

Feel free to try to make them yourself ^-^

Onigiri are really delicious *-*

One of my favourite japanese food ♥

Thank you for reading and see you next time (^.^)v

Tofu Cute Order \(^-^)/

Hey guys (^.^)v

I hope you are fine ^.^

today I want to do a small review x3

some weeks ago I ordered some stuff at the online shop 'Tofu Cute' ^.^

I wanted to order there for some time now, but most things 

I wanted to buy were always sold out q.q

but now, nearly all the things I wanted were in stock, so I had to order quickly *-*

I really wanted to have this onigiri plush toy *-*

it's so cute and I love onigiri ♥

next I ordered some new phone charms ^.^

 2 Alpacas and a Giraffe-donut *-*

 

I love these old school overdecorated cell phones x3

so I decided to decorate mine like this again!

it's quite heavy now.. like in good old days x'D

the fluffy yellow thing you can see in the background 

of the first pic is a plushy tissue box *-*

isn't that cool?! x'D

it's pineapple-tofu style ^.^
and it is a present from my boyfriend ♥ 
I didn't have enough money, so he bought it for me -^.^-

I also ordered some food x3
POCKY!  ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ
one is mango flavour

and the other is cheesecake *-*

they are both so delicious *Q*
the mango tastes like real mango and not like some artificial stuff
and the cheesecake one tastes refreshing with some added twist of lemon ^.^

and the last thing I bought is a pen that looks like a pocky stick ^.^

it does not look like it in the picture, but it's very easy to write with it ^.^
and that's it x3
I'm so happy with my purchase ^.^
see you next time ♥
