-If you use my rice recipe above, you'll end up with enough rice for 8 pieces of onigiri.
-Don't use a long grain rice for these. There isn't enough starchiness to stick them together and they will fall apart instantly. If you find that your short or medium-grain rice is not sticky enough after cooking, use a rubber spatula to press and fold it about 10 times and you'll notice it becoming more workable.
-If you aren't using inherently salty toppings or fillings, be sure to sprinkle your finished onigiri with a little extra salt.
