Step 1
Heat oil in a skillet over high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Sear tuna 30 seconds per side without stirring — surface should look just caramelized, interior stays raw.
Step 3
Transfer tuna to a bowl and fold in mayo, soy sauce, and half the scallions until coated.
Step 4
Wet your hands lightly with water. Scoop 0.5 cup warm rice into your palm and press a thumb divot in the center.
Step 5
Fill the divot with 1 tbsp tuna mixture, then cover with another 0.25 cup rice and squeeze gently into a triangle.
Step 6
Place onigiri on a plate, sprinkle with sesame and remaining scallions, then serve immediately.
