Method
5 steps- 1Rinse and cook the rice, then rest it covered for 10 minutes. Let it cool until you can handle it.
- 2Mix the tuna with mayonnaise and soy.
- 3Wet your hands and rub with a pinch of salt. Take a handful of rice, press a hollow, add filling and cover with rice.
- 4Press firmly into a triangle with cupped hands, turning three or four times.
- 5Wrap with a nori strip and sprinkle sesame. Wrap the nori just before eating for crunch.
Serve it like this
Line up the triangles with nori strips facing out on a small board, or pack in a tiffin with the nori wrapped separately. Miso soup alongside.
