This is an easy to follow recipe for Japanese Chimaki or dumplings, which is traditionally made and enjoyed for Children’s day (also known as “komodo no hi”) in Japan, every 5th of May.
The tradition is celebrated across Japan to call-in positive wishes for the happiness and good health of children.
The addition of our OKAZU Chili Miso unfolds a new and fresh flavor to the classic dish.
Enjoy the recipe, and we wish everyone peace, happiness and good health not only on this special day, but on all the days of the year!
When Abokichi first started out, we used to sell onigiri (Japanese rice balls) and the "chili and kelp" flavour was one of our best sellers. It was the popularity of this onigiri that led us to start selling OKAZU in jars. Now, we are happy to share the original recipe for the kelp portion of this onigiri flavour. While cooking, your home will be filled with the tangy nostalgic aroma we sometimes encounter while walking around Tokyo.
