I can’t get onigiri locally, so I’ve tried to make my own with sushi rice and triangular molds. It’s a lot of work and it never comes out quite like the store-bought ones. The last batch tasted good, but were more like rice sandwiches:

So instead of actual onigiri, I bring you: onigiri-flavored tuna salad! It’s great on bagels (including Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free everything bagels).
- Two cans of tuna
- Half an onion (red or white)
- Mayo
- Furikake seasoning
- Sushi nori
- Salt
- Pepper
- Add the tuna and onion to a food processor. Process for a few seconds, until everything’s chopped but not a mush.
- Add the chopped tuna and onion to a bowl. Add mayo a spoonful at a time, and mix. Stop when it’s creamy enough for you.
- Season to taste with furikake, torn up bits of nori, salt, and pepper.
- Toast your bagel and top with the salad.
Bonus bagel: you can also make this with canned or cooked salmon.
