Step 1
Wet your hands with the 1/4 cup water and sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt over your palms to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Divide the 2 cups cooked rice into 4 equal portions. Gently press one portion into a triangle or ball shape, using firm but light pressure.
Step 3
Cut the 2 nori sheets into strips about 1 inch wide. Wrap one strip around the middle of each rice ball, pressing lightly to adhere.
Step 4
Serve immediately, or wrap each in plastic wrap for a portable snack.
