Ingredients

• 1 cup cooked sushi rice
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 can Fishwife Wild-Caught Albacore Tuna
• 1 tablespoon Kewpie mayo
• 2 teaspoon Daybreak Seaweed Pure Wakame Flakes
• 2 teaspoon Sriracha
• 1 teaspoon black sesame
• 4 sheets seaweed paper, cut into 1 ½ inch long strips
• 1 teaspoons Daybreak Seaweed Shichimi Togarashi Flakes

Directions

Once your rice has cooked and nearly cooled, mix vinegar, sugar and salt thoroughly throughout the grains and set aside. In a medium sized bowl prepare your onigiri filling my mixing Fishwife Wild-Caught Albacore Tuna, Kewpie mayo, Daybreak Seaweed Pure Wakame Flakes, Sriracha and black sesame seeds with the backside of a fork until the tuna pieces break apart into shreds.
Using an onigiri mold (available at nearly every Asian grocery store) place a spoonful of rice inte one side of the base, then a tablespoon of tuna mixture in the center of the mold before stacking another layer of rice on top and pressing the mold firmly together, forming a rounded triangle. Repeat until rice and filling are all made into onigiris.
Finally, wrap each onigiri with a strip of seaweed for handling and dip the tips of the rounded triangle in a shallow plate of Daybreak Seaweed Shichimi Togarashi Flakes.
