Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Cooked Japanese short-grain rice
  • 1/2 can Canned tuna (drained)
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Sesame oil(optional)
  • 2 sheets Nori sheets
  • 1/8 tsp Salt(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the tuna mayo: in a bowl, mix drained tuna, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and (if using) sesame oil. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.

  2. 2

    Shape the onigiri: wet your hands with water (or lightly oil them), then take a small handful of warm cooked rice and flatten slightly. Add a spoonful of tuna mayo in the center, then cover with more rice and shape into balls.

  3. 3

    Wrap and serve: cut or tear nori into strips and wrap around each rice ball. Serve immediately.
