 Ingredients (serves 4)

 

 

Instruction

 1. Add the tuna, Kewpie, salt, pepper, wasabi, shichimi/nanami, and sushi ginger into a bowl and stir to combine.
A metal bowl containing tuna, diced red onion, a dollop of wasabi, and a dusting of red shichimi togarashi seasoning.
2. To construct the onigiri: prepare a piece of glad wrap on the bench. Sprinkle it with a little salt and shichimi/nanami. Add one large spoon of freshly cooked rice onto the glad wrap and lightly flatten out the rice.
A hand uses a wooden spatula to press and spread a pile of cooked white rice onto a sheet of clear plastic wrap.
3. Place ¼ of the tuna mixture into the middle and cover the tuna with a small spoon of rice. Using the glad wrap, tighten and shape the rice to create a triangle shape. Repeat to make 4 onigiri.
Hands gently shaping a triangular rice ball, likely onigiri, on a smooth surface.
4. Cut one sheet of mama san sushi seaweed into quarters.
5. Wrap each onigiri with a piece of seaweed and serve immediately so the seaweed is still crisp.
Hands place a grilled, triangular onigiri topped with sesame seeds and nori onto a white plate holding another one.
