Tuna Mayo Onigiri

Japanese rice balls: warm short-grain rice pressed around a filling with salted hands and banded with a strip of nori. Tuna and mayonnaise is the convenience-store classic and the easiest one to shop for. They are a lunchbox food, meant to be eaten with your hands and at room temperature.
