Making riceballs/onigiri?!
Do you need to use special rice to make rieballs!.!.!.I really want to make them but I'm not sure if normal rice would work, or should I just stick to sushi rice!? Or is their something I can add to normal rice to make them stick!?
Do any mainstream shops (n the UK) sell sushi rice and seaweed anyway!? I know some shops that do but they're quite far away for me =[!.
You can tell I've never made them before huh!? xDDD also I need some good filling ideas!. Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

my easy and lazy way is to buy "Furikake" packets, try to find those online as well, shake and mix them with rice and make the rice balls!.

You need to use either sweet rice (basically sticky rice, it's not sweet) or sushi rice!. If you don't use that type of rice, the onigiri won't keep their shape!.
You also need a mold!.
As for where to buy the items you need, I have no idea!. I live in the U!.S!.
Tuna is a nice filling!. A little pepper, some lemon juice and just a tiny bit of mayonaisse is delicious!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've never made them myself, but I think sushi rice would work!.
As for fillings, try salmon!. I had some salmon onigiri's once, and they were amazing! Just make sure to use fresh or frozen salmon filets, not the canned stuff!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
