Okay, easy part done. The trick to doing the next steps correctly is to grab hold of the middle of the onigiri where the seaweed is now showing. It is visible now because you removed the strip of plastic that was tab number one. Hold on to that seaweed, and never let go! And carefully, slowly pull on tab number two.

The onigiri is free of plastic but it doesn’t have that stereotypical triangle shape that defines all onigiri. This is definitely a hands-on kind of meal, because now you must fold your seaweed around the onigiri rice into that beautiful triangle shape.
