Method
I left a note on one step.- 1
Cook the rice. Let it rest 10 minutes covered. Don't skip the rest.
- 2
Wet your hands. Salt your hands. Scoop a handful of hot rice.
- 3
Press a thumb-dent into the center. Tuck in whatever filling you want. Umeboshi, tuna mayo, or just a flake of salt.
- 4
Close. Shape into a triangle. Three firm squeezes — each side once.
Not gentle. Not crushing. Firm. Harita-san corrected my squeeze three times. - 5
Press a strip of nori on one side if you like. Eat warm or pack for tomorrow.
