Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb short-grain rice
8 umeboshi (dried plum)

  • Cut each nori sheet into 9 strips.
  • Wet your hands and sprinkle them with salt to prevent the rice from sticking to them.

  • Press a piece of umeboshi into the indentation you left.
  • Wrap the rice and umeboshi in Nori strips.
  • Serve immediately or save for later.
