  • 1.   When the rice is still warm, add rice vinegar. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the work surface, wet your hands and take a nice portion of rice. Compact the rice and shape it into a triangle. Wrap the onigiri with the plastic wrap and adjust its shape.
  • 2.   Place the onigiri in the center of the matte side of the nori sheet. Take a pointed knife, cut from the corner of the onigiri to the corner of the sheet, on both sides at the bottom. Cut in the center at the top and fold the nori sheet. Cut off the excess nori sheet, wet to stick.
