Step 1
Stir together tuna, mayonnaise, and soy sauce in a small bowl until well combined.
Step 2
Wet your hands with water and sprinkle salt lightly on your palms to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Scoop 0.5 cup warm rice into your palm and make a small indent with your thumb.
Step 4
Place 1 tbsp tuna filling into the indent, then top with another spoonful of rice.
Step 5
Gently cup your hand and shape the rice into a triangle by pressing and rotating, ~30 seconds.
Step 6
Wrap a nori strip around the bottom of the triangle to create a handle.
Step 7
Repeat with remaining rice and filling to make 4 onigiri. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
