Step 1
Mix warm rice with miso paste and butter, stirring gently until the miso dissolves and rice is glossy.
Step 2
Stir in sesame seeds and soy sauce until evenly distributed.
Step 3
Wet your hands with water and grab a handful of rice (about 0.75 cup). Cup it in your palm and gently press into a triangle shape.
Step 4
Wrap a strip of nori around the middle of the triangle so it sticks to the rice.
Step 5
Repeat until all rice is shaped into triangles. Serve at room temperature or warm.
