1. I’ve been wanting to do this for so long

2. You did such a great job. I had to buy an onigiri-shaper because mine never looked like triangles 😭

3. Looking good!

   I’d suggest don’t attach the seaweed until it’s consumed. It’d get soft and soggy if stuck to the rice too long.

4. Good job!

5. This brought me such sweet memories of me and my friends in high school making onigiris for the first time

6. You may add sushi vinegar to the rice instead of soy sauce, soy sauce tends to make it loose.

7. Oishii so!

8. Looks good! Great job

9. god i remember making my first “onigiri”.

   used shitty generic american long grain which didnt stick until i mashed it by force and i used tuna straight out the can with nothing else. imagine how dissappoint i felt when the ball of unseasoned rice/flavorless ball of rice and tuna didnt taste very good lol.

   This looks pretty good though, i would reccomend using the nori in the plastic wrappers though. crunchy nori is so much better.

   edit: if you get the ability ive been EXTREMELY happy with what putting a tablespoon or two of furikake and a bit of sesame oil does. Gives the rice itself some nice flavor too.

10. Luckily you did not mess up rice again, even though i am not chinese/korean/japanese i think rice is the best

11. That sure looks authentic!

12. These look great! Get yourself some furikake to pimp those bad boys up even more!
