You can use plain white rice, but if you do, lightly sprinkle salt over the rice before wrapping it with nori.

Wrap the rice ball completely with nori (seaweed).

Tip: After wrapping with nori, wrap the rice ball in plastic wrap and let it sit for a while so the nori softens. Then, cut it in half while still wrapped (thanks to KBB for this tip).

Cut the rice ball in half. Enjoy!
