150 grams canned tuna, drained

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

2–3 tablespoons Japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie style)

1 to 1.5 cups roasted seaweed, torn into small pieces
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sushi rice, sesame oil, Japanese mayonnaise, drained tuna, and torn roasted seaweed.
02 -
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is uniform in texture. If needed, add more mayonnaise for extra creaminess and cohesion.

Press the mixture into a flat layer in the bowl. Use a spatula to segment it into 8 triangular portions resembling pizza slices. Alternatively, estimate equal portions by eye.

With clean hands or gloves, scoop up each portion and gently shape it into a compact ball, ensuring each ball is tightly packed to maintain its structure.
05 -
Present the rice balls at once for optimal texture and freshness. Serve unaccompanied or with preferred garnishes.
# Notes:

Wet hands lightly with water to prevent rice from sticking while forming balls.
