Place cooked rice in a bowl, sprinkle with salt, and fold gently.

Place a third of the rice on plastic wrap.

Form into a triangle or a ball with both your palms, pressing gently and lightly.

Remove the plastic wrap. Wrap the rice ball with a strip of nori seaweed if you like.

If you want to put umeboshi in, remove the seed from umeboshi. Place a third of the rice on plastic wrap, then make a dent in the middle of rice, and put the umeboshi in the dent. Form into triangle or a ball with both your palms, pressing lightly. Remove the plastic wrap.

If you want to mix salmon into the rice, flake some fresh grilled salmon or you can find the jar of salmon flakes at the Japanese grocery store.

Add salmon into the rice. Place a third of salmon mixed rice on plastic wrap, then form into triangle or a ball with both palms, pressing gently and lightly. Remove the plastic wrap.

Yum! If it's too difficult to make a triangle omusubi, don't worry. You can make a round one and it's fine!

Onigiri is good for breakfast, lunch, lunch box and late-night snacks!

You can decorate it too! Kids will love them!
