Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 240g cooked white rice
- 2 sheets of nori (seaweed)
- 2 leaves of lettuce (approx. 40g)
- 30g carrot (about 3cm), julienned
- Salt, to taste
- 4 tablespoons Kewpie Tuna & Mayo Spread
Instructions
- Place the warm rice in a bowl, season lightly with salt, and mix.
- Rinse the lettuce in cold water and drain well.
- Peel and julienne the carrot. Rub with salt and squeeze out excess moisture.
- Place a sheet of nori on plastic wrap diagonally (like a diamond). Spread 1/4 of the rice in the center into a square shape. Layer with lettuce, carrot, Kewpie Tuna & Mayo Spread, and another 1/4 portion of rice. Fold the corners of the nori toward the center and wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
- Once the nori softens and holds shape, cut the wrapped onigirazu in half. Repeat for the second portion.
