Step 1

First, drain and squeeze the oil/water from your canned tuna.

Step 2

Then in a bowl, add the tuna, 1.5 Tbsp of mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp of chili oil and a splash of soy sauce. Mix. (If your chili oil is already well seasoned, skip the soy sauce)

Step 3

Get your cooked rice. Make sure it’s left out so that it’s not too hot when assembling into an onigiri.

Step 4

Sprinkle sesame seeds and mix together with hands or spatula.

Step 5

Next, get a plastic bag and toss in the Korean seaweed. Close the plastic bag with your hands, making sure all air is out and crunch it up with your hands. Set aside.

Step 6

Now, it’s time to make the onigiri! Take a handful of rice and flatten in the middle. Add a scoop of tuna mix and cover with another ball of rice. Keep shaping until it forms a ball. Then, using your thumb and forefinger, shape into a triangle.

Step 7

Finally, dip the onigiri into the seaweed and coat it on all 3 sides.

Step 8

Enjoy!
