🔽Tips
1. When your onigiri falls apart
Tip1
Use Japanese rice or sushi rice. Easiest way is get sushi rice from your local supermarket :)
There is rice for making mochi in Asia which is called “sticky rice” or “sweet rice” or “glutinous rice”. This type of rice is not for making onigiri.

Tip2
Don't put too much water or too less water when you make rice.
If you use a pot to make rice, put 200ml (0.85 US cup) water for 1 rice cup (180ml = 3/4 US cup)
If you use a rice cooker, just follow the measuring line
Tip3
If the onigiri is too small for your hands, it would be difficult to press hard. If it feels hard to press, use 200g (7oz) cooked rice for one onigiri instead of 150g (5.3oz).
Tip4
When making onigiri, make sure you use warm rice. If it's cold, it's dry and doesn't hold together :(
If it’s cold, microwave rice with a lid for a while. It will be warm and sticky.
Tip5
If you put too much filling, it would also be difficult to shape onigiri. Put less filling :)
2. When the rice stick to your hand
Tip
Put the hands in cold water before making onigiri. If your hands are warm and dry, the rice sticks to your hands. Cool your hands down and make them slightly wet!

★About seasonings
--Substitute for Mirin and Sake--
If you can’t find mirin or sake in your city, you can substitute them like this👇
For 1 tbsp mirin use either:
1 tbsp sake + 1/2 tsp sugar
or
1 tbsp white wine + 1/2 tsp sugar
For 1 tbsp sake use:
1 tbsp mirin
or
1 tbsp white wine
It won’t be exactly the same, but still works 😋

*I would recommend you to buy the products in Asian supermarkets. I guess they are cheaper😎✨
