Prepare the Rice:

• Rinse the mama san sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
• Cook the mama san rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

Season the Rice:

• In a small bowl, mix the mama san sushi vinegar, 
• Gently fold the vinegar into the cooked rice while it's still warm. Allow the rice to cool completely.

Prepare Your Fillings:

• While the rice is cooling, prepare your chosen fillings. Cook and season them as desired.

Assemble the Onigiri:

• Wet your hands with a bit of water to prevent sticking.
• Take a handful of seasoned rice and flatten it in your palm.
• Place a small amount of your chosen filling in the center of the rice.

Shape the Onigiri:

• Cup your hand slightly to fold the rice over the filling, shaping it into a triangle or oval.
• Use your hands to gently press and shape the rice into a compact triangle or oval.

Wrap with Nori:

• If desired, place a strip of mama san nori seaweed on your palm.
• Gently place the shaped onigiri on the nori strip and wrap the nori around the bottom of the onigiri to create a base and handle.

Repeat and Serve:

• Repeat the process with the remaining rice and fillings.
• Once your onigiri are ready, you can enjoy them immediately or wrap them in plastic wrap to keep them fresh.

Optional Step - Seasoning the Nori:

• If you like, you can lightly toast the nori strips over an open flame for a few seconds on each side to enhance their flavour.

Enjoy:

• Your homemade Onigiri are ready to enjoy! They're perfect for a snack, lunch, or a delightful addition to a bento box.

Remember, making Onigiri by hand might take a bit of practice to get the shape just right, but it's all part of the fun and creativity of cooking. Enjoy your delicious homemade Onigiri using mama san products!
