Pocket Onigirazu

Ingredients

  • 1 large sheet nori (seaweed)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (short-grain or sushi rice works best)
  • 1 tbsp furikake
  • 1 egg, cooked (fried or scrambled)
  • 1 tbsp tobiko (fish roe)
  • 3 tbsp tuna
  • 1 butter lettuce leaf
  • Kewpie mayo, to drizzle
  • Hot sauce of choice, to drizzle

Instructions

  1. Cook your rice and, while warm, mix it with furikake for extra flavor.
  2. Cut the nori sheet in half. Use a small amount of rice to stick the two pieces together in a T shape, one piece horizontal and one vertical.
  3. Spread a thin, even layer of rice along the vertical strip of nori.
  4. On the lower half of the vertical strip, layer the fillings: lettuce, egg, tuna, tobiko, then finish with a drizzle of Kewpie mayo and hot sauce.
  5. Fold the horizontal flaps of nori inward over the filling, then fold everything up from the bottom to form a neat pocket.
  6. Enjoy as is, or slice in half for easier eating.
