In a large bowl, combine the cooked sushi rice with salt and mix well. Let it cool slightly.

Shape the Rice Balls
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of rice (about 1/4 cup) and flatten it in your palm. Place a small amount of your chosen filling in the center and mold the rice around it to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining rice and filling.

Wrap with Nori
