Prepare the sushi rice

Shape the onigiri
Once the rice is cooked and slightly cooled, wet your hands with water and take a handful of rice. Flatten it into a triangle shape and place a spoonful of the tuna mixture in the center. Mold the rice around the filling to encase it completely, and shape it into a triangle.
