Thank you Hayao Miyazaki ~ Studio Ghibli recipe 2~

Konnichiwa 🙂
Thank you for being interested in the studio Ghibli’s previous post.

Have you ever heard “Onigiri”?
In other word, it’s called “Rice ball”.

ACTUALLY, Onigiri was the only one dish which I could cook when I was a high school student (-///-)
You see how easy it is.

I say, it’s one of the Japanese soul foods.
Mothers often make rice balls when kids go outside, or go to school trip.
Even we grow up, it is still always common foods to bring as a lunch in everyday life.

You may be surprised i you go to Japan and once enter a convenience store.
There are a massive numbers of onigiris on the shelf, but simply it is a usual view for us.

In Hayao Miyazaki’s film, “The spirited away”,
The boy Haku gave simple onigiris to Sen when she had a huge concern about her parent.

It has no seaweed and nothing inside either,
but it looks so nice when Chihiro eats them.

The reason she started crying was may be the onigiri reassured her instantly.

The onigiri in the movie was very, very simple one.
I’ll explain how to make them now;) !

Ingredient : 1cup of midium grain rice
1 teaspoon of table salt

Step 1 Put 1 cup of midium grain rice ( NOT long grain) in a large bowl and wash it with cold water.
Repeat washing until the water becomes almost clear.

when you wash, it is better to use your palm rather than fingers 🙂

Step 2 add cold water until the line of 1 cup (TIPs: if you add a few drops of sake, it would taste better)
& turn the rice cooker’s switch on!

Step 3 Once rice was steamed, please put a clear wrap in a small bowl.
It makes easier to form onigiri and your hands won’t be messed up :)!

put a little amount of salt inside.

  

Step 4 put 1 scoop of rice in the bowl

Step 5, Please take a look at the movie 🙂
In order to make a triangular onigiri, you just need to form your hands into L shape,
and repeat holding and turning 🙂

When you remove the wrap,  it’s done 😉

I brought those onigiris to my workplace today.
It reduces my tiredness, and made me a bit nostalgic.

Please try making the spirited away’s onigiri :9!
