Tuna and Mayonnaise Onigiri
Tuna and Mayonnaise Onigiri is a popular Japanese rice ball snack. This dish consists of cooked sushi rice shaped into a triangular or oval form, filled with a mixture of canned tuna and mayonnaise. The filling is creamy and savory, providing a delightful contrast to the slightly sticky and mildly seasoned rice. Often, the onigiri is wrapped partially or entirely in a sheet of nori (seaweed) for added flavor and easy handling. This simple yet satisfying snack is perfect for a quick meal, lunchbox addition, or on-the-go bite.
