Updated at: Thu, 21 Nov 2024 11:50:47 GMT

Step 1

First, prepare your short grain rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop using the directions on the package or the rice cooker. Before cooking your rice, wash it until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Once the rice is done, transfer to a large bowl and let sit until you can manipulate it with your hands comfortably. Do not leave your rice out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

Step 3

While the rice cools, prepare the tuna mixture. Add the drained tuna, kewpie mayo, gochujang and chopped kimchi to a small bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 4

On a flat plate or cutting board, lay out a piece of plastic wrap. Using a rice paddle, transfer a scoop of warm rice onto the plastic wrap and gently press flat. You can also use an onigiri mold for this step.

Step 5

Add a small amount of the tuna mixture (about 1-2 tablespoons) to the middle of the rice. Place a small amount of rice on top of the tuna mixture and use the plastic wrap to mold the rice into a ball. Then, form into a triangular shape.

Step 6

Place the rice triangle on a piece of nori and fold both sides in, tucking in the bottom. Set aside and repeat until you run out of plain rice and the tuna mixture. Then enjoy!
