Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked sushi rice
• 1 small cucumber, diced into small pieces
• 1 small carrot, grated
• 1 can of tuna, drained
• Nori sheets, cut into small strips
• Water, for moistening hands

Directions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions and allow it to cool slightly.
   • Dice the cucumber into small pieces and grate the carrot. You can make this a fun activity for the kids by letting them use kid-friendly knives to help chop the vegetables.
   • Drain the can of tuna and set aside.
2. Shape the Onigiri:
   • Moisten your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking.
   • Take a small handful of rice and shape it into a triangle or ball in your hands.
   • Make a small indentation in the center of the onigiri and fill it with a spoonful of tuna, cucumber, or carrot.
   • Close the rice around the filling and shape it into a triangle or ball again.
3. Wrap the Onigiri:
   • Take a strip of nori and wrap it around the onigiri. The nori will stick to the rice, holding the shape of the onigiri together.
4. Serve the Onigiri:
   • Repeat the shaping and wrapping process with the remaining rice and fillings.
   • Serve the onigiri on a plate and enjoy!
