3. Place a small amount of your chosen filling in the center of the rice.
4. Gently mold the rice around the filling into a triangle or ball shape.
5. Wrap with a strip of nori or serve as is. Enjoy the simple, delicious taste of Omusubi!
 
I love making Omusubi! It's such a simple yet satisfying snack. My favorite filling is tuna mayo with a little bit of chopped green onions—it’s so tasty and adds a nice crunch. I also like adding a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for some extra flavor. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I’m definitely going to try out some new fillings next time! 🍙😉✨👍
