We got this cool triangular mould for onigiri (triangular sushi balls) that i had been waiting to try out, so along came my Japanese dinner party and here we go! Much easier than sushi to make and super cute-looking!

Assembly time: 10-15 min

2 C sushi rice
3 C water
2 T rice wine vinegar
3 T sugar (to taste)
1x250g tuna
Juice of 1 lemon
1 stalk of green shallot
1/2 spanish onion, finely diced
50g raw salmon
Jap mayo
2 sprigs dill
Dried seaweed, cut into 2cm x 10cm strips
Sesame seeds (optional)
Special equipment: Triangular mould for onigiri
Method:
1. Cook the sushi rice according to the instructions on the packet
2. Add in the rice wine vinegar and sugar to taste after it's cooked.
3. Finely chop the spanish onion and green shallots.
4. Cut the salmon into small 0.5cm cubes.
5. Prepare the tuna mix by flaking the tuna into a bowl, add in 1-2 tsp lemon juice, half the spanish onion and some Jap mayo and mix.
6. Prepare the salmon mix by putting the salmon cubes into a bowl, add in the rest of the spanish onion, 2 tsp lemon juice, dill, Jap mayo and a sprinkle of salt.
7. Assemble the onigiri by putting 1 T rice into the mould, put 1 tsp of filling inside, then put another T of rice on top. Squash down firmly with the lid for the mould and then remove and put a strip of seaweed around one edge.
