Excellent tutorial Anna!

 

I actually am using sushi rice--seasoned with rice vinegar etc.  Lol, I thought that's what you were using too.  I like it...

If you like it, go with it!   Certainly won’t do any harm.

Goes to show that my speed-reading doesn't always render the correct results 😂.

 

But, it is good.  Adds a little zip maybe.  Even if it's not the traditional way lol.

I do love a latke. I have, on occasion when I wanted to go all out for lunch, done a sort of eggs benedict construction using latkes, pastrami, an over-easy egg and hollandaise. Pretty wonderful.

@Anna N thanks for the tutorial. I'm planning a trip to my favorite Japanese everything store to pick up some supplies in the next few days. I didn't see anyone using a barely seared sesame-crusted ahi tuna as a filling, but that would be yummy. Also eggs with tobiko or salmon roe would be great.

 

I also discovered that before onigirazo became popular, rectangular molds the size of a slice of spam became ubiquitous for making musubi, another serious addiction that must have originated in Hawaii. I believe that in the early days, the empty can of spam was used as the mold for that and the shape became standard. Not being a spam fan by any measure, I can skip that snack.

 

I spent two mind numbing hours last night and put myself to sleep finally by looking at various videos, testimonials, etc. Indeed, most of the onigirazu enthusiasts seem to favor plain rice, not vinegared "sushi" rice. However, many of these folks are also using some very Western kinds of fillings like all the riffs on the BLT. I did find some videos in which more traditional ingredients, such as raw fish, roe, japanese pickles, tamago etc. were called for along with vinegared rice, so @Shelby, you can consider yourself an innovative subset.

I totally have thought about using ahi tuna...if I can unearth any from the freezer, that will happen someday.

 

😁I haven't been an innovative anything for many many years so I'll take that lol.

I swear these "sandwiches" are helping me use up a lot of lonely lunchmeat.  Don't be surprised if you see a thinly sliced hotdog in there soon.

I actually had these on my shopping list although I’m not fond of hotdogs. I try to keep a list of potential protein sources that don’t require much defrosting or effort otherwise (for that those days when even getting out of bed seems an effort). I think I could easily slice a frozen one and then just stick it in a frying pan for a few minutes and have a filling for one of my rice sandwiches.  But when I arrived at store and looked for something as simple as a hotdog I found the choices overwhelming. Who knew?   I haven’t bought hotdogs I don’t think since my kids were teenagers and they’re in their 50s now.   Life was simple once.  😂

 Japanese onigirazu stuffed with an Egyptian liver preparation. So good!

@Shelby  Yeah, right!  If I had never found eGullet there are a whole lot of kitchen gadgets I wouldn't have.  

Nor would I likely have my CSO, my Instant Pot, nor about a gazillion cookbooks. On the whole, I'm saying I'm ahead.

A new place opened just by my home selling this and other noodles dishes. I had to try their take.

 

Damned good! ¥6 ($0.89 USD at today's exchange rate).

The last of the smoked salmon.

Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon on toasted rye with Hollandaise sauce. 

 

Swear to God, runny egg yolk is one of my most favorite condiments.  I only like salmon as lox/gravlox also, so this post is killing me in a good way.  +1 for the rye bread.
