Instructions
Step 1
Start by thoroughly washing the rice, until the water runs clear. Transfer it to a pot and soak it in some water for 30 minutes.
Step 2
After soaking, get rid of the water and cover the rice using the finger method (or just about 2 and a half cups of water). Bring to a boil on medium heat, cover once boiling and reduce the heat to the lowest. Cook for 12-13 minutes and remove from the heat. Keep covered to steam for another 10 minutes (check the rice every so often just to see that it doesn’t need more water, and add some hot water if necessary)
Step 3
Transfer the cooked rice to an oven dish and “cut” through it with a wooden spatula. Once it’s cold enough to handle, but not actually cold, you can start the shaping.
Step 4
For the filling, in a small bowl add the tuna, mayo and soy sauce and combine with a fork. For the nori, just use a fork to cut strips that will go at the base of the onigiri
Step 5
Add some water to a bowl and some salt to another. Wet your hands and dip 2 or 3 fingers in the salt. Rub the salt on your hands before handling the rice.
Step 6
Spread the rice on one hand, creating a dip in the middle. Add the tunamayo to the dip and cover with some more rice. Shape in a triangle (or a circle, as you prefer). Use the nori sheet to cover the base of it, just like in the emoji 🍙
