The BEST Onigiri you've NEVER had 

I will be cosplaying as Uzui at Sakura Con this year and I'm going to be FLASHY AF Join the Food Fight Academy! www.patreon.com/foodfightacademy

I occasionally make onigiri at home, and it's always with tuna mayo since it's the easiest thing I have access to. That marinated egg yolk though....that might be a thing I try over spring break. Cheers Chef!

I really think Onigiri will become the next trend item. We had Ramen, Banh Mi, Pho, now it's time for some rustic/fancy/fusion Onigiri food trucks. They're so easy and fast to make but so freaking delicious.

You sure they’re not jelly donuts?

I once made a ham&cheese onigiri. It didn't look pretty, but it was delicious.

Those jelly donuts look awesome!!

3:53 I freakin' love unagi... It just hits all the spots for me^^

Love to see the different takes on a classic like Onigiri

bro i love you costume for sakura con its just simply amazing

for the marinated egg yoke, i put the whole egg in the freezer for about 30 mins to firm them up. then just before cracking it open i dip the egg in hot water to melt the white leaving a firmer yoke less likely to break.

those looks really good and easy to made. Thanks for putin this one together Chef P!

Onigiri Princess

love Onigiri Bongo with Tanjiro grandma! those onigiri look ugly delicious

It's awesome watching your channel grow! The diversity of fun anime food creations and your dishes is so entertaining to watch!

I've never had onigiri before but my God do I wanna try these so much, especially the unagi one

At first I thought Chef was getting his killer bod in shape for his wife but PSYCH he's doing it just to cosplay. I should have known..

Such an amazing chef, your skills are off the charts and i enjoy your vids. You keep doing what you doing

Never tried Eel before, but I want try that one first. The miso peanuts one, I would want to experiment with that one. See if I could make a peanut butter out of it, or try using those flavors in a dessert.

One of my favorite homemade onigiri to make is mentaiko mayo with shirako (the little sardines!). I'll sear the shirako in a bit of soy sauce, mirin, and a bit of brown sugar- the sweet contrast to the spiciness of the mentaiko is amazing.

All of them look amazing!

these all look so tastyyyyyy, i wanna try the egg one

Chef PK reminding us that rice is nice.

I hope your sakura panel was fun. I'm saving up this year to go to all these things next year so I hope I get to see you at a con :)

Daaamn! I'm gonna be in Seattle that whole weekend but I'm gonna be down at the stadiums the whole time. Gl with the panel, hope to see you at PAX again later this year!

THESE LOOK SO GOOOOOOOOOOOD AAAAAA

Great stuff ChefPK! I gotta try this sometime. Usually have ajitamas, but never thought to just marinate the yolk!

OMG SAKURA CON!!!!!! I can't go because of my compromised immune system. So jealous! Always wanted to meet you, fellow PNWer! Have fun! maybe do a video from the con itself or a live, that would be cool! Also stay warm!

I absolutely love your videos they are amazing and I love doing them at home thank you so much for your videos PS I found a show I haven’t seen you make any videos on that’s all about food thought you might like it it’s called “restaurant to another world” And I would love to see you make all of the recipes in it

You're such a dork Chef! Hahaha love you PK!

I haven't been able to get out to sakuracon since 2017 (I live in Florida) upset that I missed you lol sucks being poor. Hope you had a great panel. Told my friends out west at Sak to try to make it to your panel if they could

Love that Princess Mononoke shirt, and I want to try making that marinated egg yolk onigiri

Absolutely delicious.

1:20 "Because I added this [ingredient] way too early. Or _late._ One or the other."

There are several schools of onigiri forming methods. The one I practice is the one where you repeatedly spin the onigiri between your hands for a long time, only gently patting it so you don't crush it.

These look amazing 😍 I love making salmon onigiri - and now I want to add cream cheese to it 😂 That BBQ eel looks HEAVENLY ❤️

Onigiri looks sooo good

I want to make a batch of those marinated yokes and pop them buggers like tic tacs. Also ChefPK you are an inspiration as well my dude. I love your recipes and I love the chill and accessible vibe you have with your channel.

Damn man, thank you for the recipe

8:33 Its literally the same way you did it. but she plates them on the side. you just put the extra topping on a different corner. they are like folding the nori when they do it and it looks kinda stylish because they are pros. but they are just tilting the rice ball on its side. basically.

This whole vid was awesome.. Takes a sample of caramel penuts...Pauses 3 times.. Get to the dishes.. Says their dangerous...So down but knowing the calories i will intake... Wait till mid day eat all 3 and let the day go by till night and i mean till i get hungry... Boss (you are you chef PK) BOSS

i am hungry right now because of this

I do the grilled eel ones all the time, but with teriyaki sauce and seasoning the rice like you'd do for sushi, with three or four small dabs of wasabi in the filling to spice things up a bit. Kind of like some more portable maki rolls

her peanut ones look way different. more dark and wet looking and they have sesame seeds as well. i think i figured it out though. make a loose slurry with your, ideally red, miso using cold or warm water. i used a bit of the sugar water from the next step. boil unsalted roasted peanuts and some sesame seeds in equal parts sugar and water. enough to barely cover them. reduce by boiling over high heat for a minute or 2. they should still be pretty wet. the "sauce" will thicken as it cools. i was worried i made it too thin, but i trusted it would thicken and it did. remove from heat and add the miso slurry. let stand to cool or refrigerate to thicken. i added a small dash of soy sauce to the sugar water. but im not sure if thats the move. its good with or without it and it makes it match the color really well. i think she might just have some dark miso though. and i added sriracha. i dont question that move at all. the little bit of added kick was welcome. and her website google translation describes the peanuts as "chewy" so maybe shes boiling roasted peanuts more. or maybe shes starting with raw peanuts and underboiling them. idk. i think using unsalted roasted peanuts and boiling them is the way but its just a guess. i plan to try boiling the peanuts longer next time. like 10 minutes. actually try to soften them up some. just to see how it goes.

That peanut one looks like it would be REALLY good.

this guy is so underrated

What would be pretty neat is if you tried out some of the recipes from 'Cooking With Valkyries'. Each episode has a different recipe and they're legit, and provide a list of ingredients and instructions at the end of each episode.

My absolute favorite onigiri is marinated egg. I had it at a 7-11 when in Japan. I bought all they had and ate it for breakfast my whole trip

Nice Onigiri they look so good

Damn now I have to make onigiri. Thanks XD

I'm going to try the egg yolk one tonight :D What do you recommend using the egg whites for?

Now thats a fire akshan cosplay

Sir I got your amazing cook books and I love them ! Thanks for the Magic card too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you were waiting for the caramel you could say that you were caramel dancin'! ...I'll see myself out now.

Keep it up! Great content! And you are making so much noise that other "creators" like Babish are trying to imitate this content. This channel is unique, exciting, and relatable. I truly wish you all success.

I should not be watching this on my diet. But I'll add it to the list of things I want to make for my 10kg lost reward meals.

Eel is one of my favourites but am highly allergic. I'd definitely try the egg one.

Love Onigiri but I have to make it at home because almost nobody makes it without fish (which I am allergic to)

You should try to make a rokakaka fruit from jojo's bizarre adventure part 8, overall good videos I love your channel!

Please make the pineapple shrimp ramen from "Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles "

Gosh they all look delicious

Somewhere out there, a purple cat just woke up in a cold sweat.

Onigiri are great for leftovers. Chopping or shredded leftover steak, pork or chicken. Add either some steak sauce, barbeque or soy sauce. Delicious. I also save things like chili, beef stew, pot roast and even hamburger helper. Fish is always great. If you in a hurry or budget even just like cooked ground meat, hotdogs, canned corn or sausages are easy fillings.

My favourite onigiri was the parmesan and panko crusted salmon I made. I have it on the reg.

While working for a ramen shop, we used to serve eel donburi. It was honestly SOOO Good.

Idk anout peanuts but miso caramel sounds awesome

Parece apetitoso

Sakura-con? ...I miss that convention

can u try making some fruits and vegetables from slime rancher? for example: mint mango, cuberry, odd onion

Try honey and white miso on popcorn. ♥️♥️♥️ Trust me, you'll love it.

I wanna make this sooooo bad!!!😩 Also I need to know what rice cooker he hasssss

I want to make the egg one

Chef Paul, you’ll never find raw eel, it’s illegal to sell in the US. BUT a good hack is to rinse all the sauce off your eel and add fresh unagi sauce to it and you sauté it for better flavor.

I don't know if anybody else is having this problem but RU-vid has not been notifying me about your video

Food fight

So... I know what I'm making next week

have you tried cured egg yolk from guga foods? they look simple yet very rewarding results

Miso caramel. Two words I've never heard in that order.

Dunno if anyone ever told you but they don't sell fresh eel, even in Japan. It keeps so bad that part of the way to conserve it is to cook it. So even in Japan they get it already made, all eel in restaurants is already cooked. The fisherpeople fish it out and cook it themselves to conserve it. So the freshest eel you can buy is freshly cooked eel in fish markets in Japan.,

This gave me an idea, soy sauce, caremel, and fried spam. 🤔

As much as I like eggs I will not eat a raw yolk. So I I make egg salad and add some spicy Mayo to the mix

What miso does he use

All of those look delicious! I'm more interested in the egg yolk one but it's not cooked isn't it? Is it like one of those special egg from Japan? I wanna try something like that (actually, I'll convince my sister who likes cooking to do it lol) but it might not be safe.

Definitely want to make these, but are they better than the Nikumaki you made earlier? I've loved making those and so have the ones I made it for 😍

May I request Oden's Oden from One Piece and remember Oden wouldn't be Oden if it wasn't boiled lol

bro i love that nog shirt xD

Weird random idea: could you use those marinated eggs to make golden fried rice?

Hey uhh, kind of late but when are you going to upload on your react channel? (Well I do recommend toriko if you had no idea)

I'm sadly not a fan of seaweed but i otherwise love onigiri, i have to give that miso caramel peanut one a try and maybe the egg.

Every onigiri is the “ best onigiri I’ve never had” because I’ve never eaten an onigiri.😎

never really thought about it before but what do you do with the egg marinate after you are doen with them?

Someone call noble! 🤣

Khamisato art suyou

Make a bacon egg and cheese onigiri

How would the egg yolks turn out if you cured them after?

i wonder if you can smoke the eel?

be honest, how salty was that sauce :D thanks for the video, paul!

5:27 So what happened to the former you had for the Pokemon "donut" video?

Umami

so i might've asked this question before but chef where has the food wars reaction videos gone? i was thinking of rewatching them recently but they're all gone ;-;

Hello ! Was that Cosplay Akshan's sentinel skin ?
