    These really look amazing. I’m ordering an onigiri press, you’ve inspired me!

    Looks awesome, and I absolutely require a slanted condiment tray like that.

    I don’t understand the little glass cylinder in pic #15. Is it for packing the rice into the corners of that mold?

  3. Sorry this is delayed – my bad 😞

    (1-2) The tin

    (3) The meal – spicy sesame tuna pressed sushi with miso soup

    (4) Opened tin

    (5-10) Making the spicy tuna filling and onigiri

    (11-12) I had extra spicy sesame tuna and leftover sushi rice so I mixed them together and stashed them in the fridge

    (13) Cut a sheet of nori in half, and put the shiny side down so your sushi will be pretty

    (14-15) Place your mold in the center of the sheet and fill with 1/2 the tuna filling, then compress with the presser. This mold is also GREAT for making SPAM Musubis 🤤

    (16-17) I hav wasabi powder, so I rehydrated some, let it sit for a few minutes to develop that horseradish punch, then spread it on the center of the sushi. Y’all can skip this step if you don’t like wasabi

    (18) Top with the rest of the tuna and rice mix and press, then fold sushi around the rice

    (19) So pretty – so easy – so delicious

    (20) I like a little dip in some soy sauce and wasabi with mine

    When a tin of Flower Moroccan Spiced sardines gives you oil, you make mayonnaise:

    And when you have mayonnaise, you make Tuna Mayo Onigiri:

    And when you have leftover rice and onigiri filling, you make pressed sushi!

    Why pressed sushi? Because day-old sushi rice isn’t sticky enough to hold together without a wrapper. Pressing the rice and wrapping with a 1/2 sheet of nori gives you enough containment to make one more spicy tuna sushi meal – which is always a good thing

    11/10 will buy this tin of Dong Won Spicy Tuna again, and I have enough mayo for the rest of the week. What will I make tomorrow? 🤔
