Onigiris are awesome

Hi, hi, hi~ :D

It's been a long time since I last posted because of examination stress and so on. (Not that anyone cares, lol.) Anyway, the important thing is that I'M BACK PEOPLE! Yeah!

So basically, life has been nondescript. Well, that was until I found THIS on deviantart:

Ain't it cute? I think onigiris are probably one of the most expressive food I've ever encountered! They can be happy, they can be sad, they can be alarmed, they can be irritated...They can even sweat drop! I mean, how cool is that? Plus they look so adorable while doing it that it makes you hesitate on whether or not you should eat it or not! 





XDXDXD

"What are onigiris?" some of you may ask.

Well, onigiris are commonly known as Japanese rice balls, or o-musubi. They are made from white rice compressed together to form triangular or oval shapes and are often wrapped with seaweed, known as nori in the Japanese language. Sound interesting? To many, probably not, but you see it is the inside where the magic of the onigiri lies. 

Traditionally it is filled with umeboshi (salt plum), salted salmon, katsuobushi (dried, fermented, and smoked skipjack tuna ), kombu (kelp ), tarako (salted roe) or all kinds of totally awesome salty or other salty and sour ingredients which taste awesome and make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. :D 

Me: Bye Wikipedia!

You guys should try onigiri whenever you have a chance to, it's worth it...or better yet, you could try to make it. I think there's a link to a youtube video on making onigiri...

These videos aren't mine! (Sadly.) I wish I had the capability and permission to cook but the last time my parents trusted me with the kitchen, I blew up the oven. Don't even ask...How was I supposed to know that you weren't supposed to put metal substances into the oven? (Nobody told me~) 

Remember guys, you must never underestimate the power of onigiri. Just like you never underestimate the power of the "ninja tuna", which has currently taken over the entire background of my blog. Who knows? Maybe if you underestimate the onigiri, the onigiris will take over your page too~

Haha...Well, gotta go now! As they say in Japan (no I'm not Japanese), sayonara!
