Ingredients- 6 fresh green peppers
- 2 bowls of cooked rice (warm)
- 6 slices of pickled radish (finely chopped)
- 1 can (100g) of tuna, drained
- 5 sheets of nori for onigiri
- 4 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 5 pinches of salt (to taste)
- A little sesame oil
- A little toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing all your ingredients. Wash the green peppers thoroughly, remove the seeds, and mince them very finely. Finely chop the pickled radish as well. Drain the tuna can completely. Place the warm cooked rice in a bowl and have your onigiri mold and nori sheets ready.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice, drained tuna, minced green peppers, and chopped pickled radish. Add the mayonnaise, salt, a little sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds. Gently mix everything together with a spatula or spoon until well combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the rice mushy.
Step 3
Now, let’s shape the onigiri. Line your onigiri mold with a sheet of nori, then firmly press the seasoned rice mixture into the mold. It’s important to pack the rice tightly to create a solid shape. Fold the edges of the nori over the rice and use the mold to press the rice firmly. (Note: The mold used in this recipe might be slightly smaller, yielding about 3.5 servings per standard onigiri size. The exact number may vary depending on your mold’s dimensions.)
Step 4
Carefully unmold the shaped rice and wrap it neatly with the nori sheet to create your delicious Green Pepper Tuna Mayo Onigiri! Using a mold makes it easy for anyone to create uniform and attractive onigiri.
Step 5
Voila! Your homemade Green Pepper Tuna Mayo Onigiri is ready. This recipe yields a total of 7 onigiri for 2 people. They are delicious enjoyed warm, or you can let them cool slightly for a wonderful snack. The delightful crunch of the green peppers and the creamy tuna mayo create a symphony of flavors in your mouth. Enjoy your tasty creation!
