Pekopekolife

Onigiri is the Japanese answer to the sandwich. These balls of rice have aristocratic beginnings, much like the sandwich, and similarly have evolved into a casual and convenient food that anyone can make at home.
The Tale of Genji, written by Murasaki-Shikibu in Japan during the 11th century, makes the first mention of the eating of rice formed into balls. Now, nearly a thousand years later, onigiri is a staple of the Japanese diet, though it is only starting to gain traction in the West.
Often wrapped in nori, just like sushi, many talk about the resemblance between the two. While the making of sushi takes years to master and is not typically prepared at home, onigiri is an everyday food. They are prepared by mothers for lunch boxes, are available in corner stores, and are the perfect sustenance to take along on hikes, picnics, train rides, and road trips.
In this workshop you will learn how to wash and cook the rice for optimal taste and texture, and explore some filling options like: ground pork, tuna-mayo, and Abokichi’s OKAZU (miso & sesame spice condiments). Last but not least, participants will be able to try their hand at forming onigiri using a few different techniques. You will be leaving with three onigiri, and the skills to start making your own onigiri at home.
