Creamy Tuna Mayo Onigiri
Craft these delightful Japanese-inspired rice balls, featuring a luscious tuna mayonnaise filling encased in perfectly seasoned rice. They're an ideal choice for a satisfying, on-the-go meal or a light snack.
Let's cook.
In a small bowl, combine the drained tuna, Japanese mayonnaise, and soy sauce. Mix well until creamy.
Wet your hands lightly with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Sprinkle a pinch of salt onto your palms.
Take about 1/2 cup of warm cooked rice and gently press it into a flat, oval shape in one palm.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the tuna mayo filling in the center of the rice.
Cover the filling with another 1/2 cup of rice, gently pressing the edges together to seal the filling inside.
Carefully shape the rice into a triangle or oval, pressing firmly but gently to ensure it holds its shape.
Repeat with the remaining rice and filling to make 4 onigiri.
Wrap each onigiri with a strip of nori seaweed, pressing it gently to adhere.
