Nutrition & Calorie Comments

I eat thib in the Japanese Resturant, but it had too much salt, I has to share it and drink lots of warm water.	Submitted by: IAMDESSIE (6/24/11) report inappropriate
I think the calorie count might be wrong. This is calculated using uncooked rice, 4 cups. If I am not mistaken, it should be 4 cups cooked rice. If I am right, then each Onigiri is closer to 100 calories which is what I would expect. There are lots of optional fillings for these.	Submitted by: BSTELLING (8/6/10) report inappropriate
I have made something similar, although vegetarian. I've taken them to picnics, and most people seem to love them, even those not familiar with this cuisine. I love Japanese food, because most of it is low in fat, and it satisfies me without making me feel stuffed. Do use sticky rice.	Submitted by: STRAWBERRY*MOON (1/18/10) report inappropriate
Make sure to use sticky rice (short grain, sushi) to make it easier. The salt is mostly used to keep the rice from sticking to your hands. I like to fill mine with ginger beef cooked in a sake reduction.	Submitted by: LYNNETH7 (1/18/10) report inappropriate
This sounds delicious but I question whether it is healthy to cook salmon at 400 degrees until dried out. Would that not wreck the great omega-3 fatty acids (that I understand are a bit delicate)? Could this work without the cooking the salmon to death part?	Submitted by: HTHINER (1/18/10) report inappropriate
I have to question the use of any salt with umeboshi. They are incredibley salty as is. For my taste I found them unedible However I'm not a salt user..Cher Jim	Submitted by: COOKIEJIM (1/18/10) report inappropriate
