@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Nah, most of my siblings started drinking coffee at about that age too. By the way Scooby-Doo would not be happy to hear about that burrito, she has bad memories to do with burritos.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko ah that’s it then the furikake is too strong. On top of that, the nori is also pretty fishy.

A basic onigiri only really requires rice. The vinegar is used to make it less sticky, and the nori is just to give you a handle, so yes both are optional. Do experiment.

As for fillings, as far as I know onigiri can be filled with anything you want. From what I hear it’s often used as a way to finish leftovers.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko That's fine, you cook to your preference. It takes trial and error a lot of the times, I remember the first time I made onigiri, I made too much of it, lol. Having some as leftover, it just crumbles apart. Now, I usually make enough for me, since I'm the only one who eats them (ngl, I enjoy learning to cook Japanese food). I always have leftover nori when I make them so, I usually keep them in the pack, in a big ziplock bag to store them.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko I mean, I do prefer coffee to normal tea, but Earl Grey tea is the best hot drink.

@Scooby-Doo Hey, how are things at home? Remember, tomorrow get our annoying bother to get MGRR.

@Sunsy Yeah, I cut my leftover Nori into Onigiri sized pieces (They originally came in sheets and I had to manually cut them into little handles) I made Onigiri for my mom, my brother, me, and my neighbor.
@Eel I'm definitelly gonna still use Nori, I won't add vinegar as I want the rice to be sticky. Next time, I'm gonna come up with my own recipe. Maybe I'll use lemon zest or something, that sounds like it could be good. But I gotta get more rice first. And by rice, I mean the microwavable stuff cause I'm a little baby who can't cook rice properly.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Cool, sounds like your feeding the family and your neighbor. Hope you improve on making them. As @Eel said, experiment a bit. Over time cooking can really improve, and you end up with the best version of something you make when it comes out just right.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko The one time our mother made something Japanese (It might have been oden) I unfortunately accidently drowned it in soy sauce. Also, what are you planning to use the lemon zest for?

@Sunsy Yeah, maybe I'll get bigger hands too. My science class says that the more room you have to grow, the more an animal will grow, but explain to me how I'm the size of a 9 year old when I'm 13.

@TeaCatherine I wanna mix the lemon zest with the rice.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Ah, that sounds interesting. My crazy sister has put a Christmas song about cannibalism on for my nana. (If a Christmas song about cannibalism isn't crazy, I don't know what is.)
Have you tried hoisin sauce before, I get the feeling that would go well in a rice ball/doughnut.

@TeaCatherine We don't speak of the Pokemon dub.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko It might still taste good in a doughnut, though. If I can recall correctly, it's quite a sweet sauce.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Nice to see you got my joke.
@Scooby-Doo Seriously, get him to get MGRR.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I only got one question wrong on my science test.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika No thank you. (I don't want to mess with my Youtube recommendations.)

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Hey, that's great.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I would have said a flat out no, but I'm too polite.

@TeaCatherine Become like me and tease everyone you meet.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko But I don't know how to tease people apart from my siblings.
