I feel that I must atone for my sin of microwaving fish so I will give you another fast recipe that isn't likely to offend your sensibilities and will gain me points with the weebs. This isn't high cuisine. It comes from the mystical eastern land where they eat a raw egg over rice for breakfast. Onigiri is one of the more popular lunch foods probably tied with pan (bread.) In Japan you can go in any konbini and pick one of these up if you are too lazy to make one for yourself.
Ingredients:
Sake
Rice
Nori
Katsuobushi (Bonito flakes)
Water
Salt
The most important Ingredient is the sake.
Apply liberally to your mouth through this process.
The actual first step is to make rice. If you don't know rice I'll give you some tips. Buy a rice cooker. A instant pot is a shitty rice cooker. A rice cooker is like $15 for a smaller one. Work two extra hours at you shitty job and buy one. I only use Botan Calrose. I use it for everything including sushi. Sushi should use a short grain rice but I can't get any real sushi rice where I live. The expensive "sushi rice" I can get is medium grain and no better than Calrose. Rinse the rice several times and then add it to a rice cooker with water 1.5 cups rice to 2 cups water. Turn the rice cooker on and go take a shower you fucking weebs. They take about the same amount of time. End result is a fully cooked slightly sticky rice.
Place the rice cooker bowl thing in a sink of cold water to help it cool while you prepare the next ingredients.
First take a sheet of nori and cut it in half, stack the halves. Cut again. Stack again. Cut again. Next prepare a bowl of hot salt water. Dissolve salt into hot water until no more will dissolve. Lastly put some fish flakes in a bowl so you don't contaminate the whole container.
Your rice is probably cool enough to handle but warm enough to form well now. Dump it in a mixing bowl and fluff it with a spoon. Dip your hands into the saltwater. This is important. It keeps the rice from sticking to your hands and provides seasoning for the rice. Get a hand full of rice and form a bowl.
Add fish flakes or other ingredients. There's more than one type of onigiri and you can put anything in there you like really. For you poorfags, you can just omit the filling and even the nori and just eat a ball of rice. I remember in Usagi Drop the girl balled up some plain rice and handed it to the dude and he called it onigiri. As you sit in your unfurnished hovel of an apartment and listen to the meth heads next door lowdly fucking watching you little chinese girl cartoons as a cockroach crawls across the screen, you can savor the fact that you are eating authentic Japanese cuisine.
I like a bunch of flakes. Drizzling some salt water over them and squishing them helps with the next process which is to fold the rice over and form a ball. You might need to add more rice at the top of the folded sides. Roll it around in your hands to form a ball. If you want that true anime experience squish it and form it into a triangle.
The last step is to add nori. I find that adding some salt water to the nori after it is applied helps it to form and stick to the rice.
Yay! You did it! Now you are ever so much closer to marrying your anime waifu.
