  • 50g

    Kewpie mayo

Adjust number of onigiri:

Method -

  • Cook the sushi rice using the package instructions. Once cooked, dissolve the sugar in the vinegar and stir through the rice.

  • Combine the tinned tuna with the mayo and furikake.

  • Once the rice is cool enough to handle mould the onigiri, adding the tuna filling between layers of rice.

  • Place the moulded rice on to a tray and wrap in the nori, using a stencil to cut out into a design if desired.

Notes -

I use a onigiri press and stencil to make this easier.
