Tuna Onigiri

One of my husband's favorite snacks in Okinawa was onigiri with tuna inside, that he would get from the convenient store. He hasn't had them since we have been here in Korea; which I am sure they have something similar but he isn't familiar with them here. I decided to try and make them for him. He liked them, which made me very happy! :)

Ingredients:
One small can of tuna
Mayo or Miracle Whip (in our house)
One cup and a half of white sticky rice, still warm
Two large sheets of seaweed
Salt
Rice seasoning (dried vegetables and seaweed) if desired

Directions:

• Make your rice and measure out the rice (sprinkle your seasoning at this point) and divide it in half.
  
• Make your tuna to your desired taste of mayo, salt, and if you want spice you can add cayenne pepper.
• Get a bowl of water and place it at your work station.
• Lay out one sheet of seaweed.
• Get your hand wet so the rice doesn't stick to them. Grab half of the rice in one hand press down so it is a thin layer and make a well in the middle, put half the tuna in this well.
• Start folding the rice over the tuna so you have the tuna in the middle and the rice on the outside.
• Keep wetting your hands as needed.
• Press the ball into a triangle shape by making a triangle with your first fingers and thumbs and shaping it.
• Place your triangle on the sheet of seaweed on the top middle with the tip of the triangle at the top of the seaweed.
• Fold the left corner down towards the right bottom and the right side towards the left bottom.
  
• Pull the bottom up and tuck the sides in on each side.
• Repeat these steps with the remaining rice, tuna, and seaweed.
  

Enjoy!!!
