Onigiri

Cooked sushi rice shaped with wet, salted hands into a triangle around a teaspoon of filling (tuna mayo, salmon), wrapped in a strip of nori.

⏱ 4 min

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Mix the tuna and mayonnaise for the filling.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    Wet your hands, sprinkle a little salt on them and flatten about ½ cup of rice in your palm.
    💡Wet hands don't stick to the rice, and the salt on them seasons the outside of the onigiri; press gently so the grains hold together without getting mashed.
  3. 3
    Place a teaspoon of filling in the center, close the rice around it and press with your hands into triangle.
  4. 4
    Wrap each onigiri in a strip of nori.
    💡The nori goes on just before serving: long contact with the moist rice makes it soft.
  5. 5
    Serve immediately.
