Onigiri

Ingredients

• •3 cups cooked sushi rice, still warm
• •1 can tuna, drained and squeezed dry
• •2 tbsp mayonnaise
• •1 tsp soy sauce
• •4 strips nori (seaweed)
• •Salt, for your hands

Steps

1. 1.Drain the tuna and squeeze it firmly to remove excess water - this single step does more than anything else to keep the onigiri from turning soggy - then mix with the mayonnaise and soy sauce.
2. 2.Wet your hands with water, then rub a pinch of salt evenly between your palms.
3. 3.Scoop a portion of warm rice into your palm, press a small hollow in the center, add a spoonful of tuna filling, and mold the rice into a triangle around it, pressing gently - don't over-squeeze, or the onigiri turns dense.
4. 4.Wrap a strip of nori around the base just before serving so it stays crisp.
