step by step

Method

  1. Cook the rice

    • Wash the rice well under cold water.
    • Cook the rice until tender, then let it cool slightly so it is easy to handle.

  2. Prepare the tuna mayo filling

    • Drain the tuna and mix it with the mayonnaise in a bowl.
    • Set aside; you can swap in other fillings such as karaage, chicken or shrimp tempura.
    Step 2
  3. Shape the onigiri

    • Lay a sheet of plastic wrap flat and spread the rice out a little.
    • Sprinkle with salt, add the tuna mayo filling and a little furikake.
    • Fold the wrap over the rice and press it into a triangle in your hand.
    Step 3
  4. Wrap with nori

    • Cut the nori sheet in half and place it rough side up.
    • Set the rice triangle on it and fold the nori around it.
    • Place a little rice on the inside edge so the nori sticks when you tuck the other side.
