Though 'Onigiri' are often called Japanese Rice Balls, they are more of a triangular shape than a ball shape. It is challenging yet fun to attempt to form a good even-shaped triangle.

Wash your hands thoroughly before making 'Onigiri', however sometimes it is safe and easy to make 'Onigiri' using plastic food wrap.
2

Place a scoop of warmed Rice in the centre of the wrap, sprinkle some Salt, then shape it into a triangle.
3

If you don’t use plastic wrap, wet your hands with Water and spread some Salt over the palm. Then place a scoop of rice on the palm of a hand and shape it into a triangle.
