For the tuna salad mix canned tuna with mayo and season to taste. I used dried minced garlic, onion, pepper and cayenne pepper.
Season rice with sesame oil and black & white sesame seeds.
Mix to combine
To make the rice balls I am using a Onigiri mold. Use mold according to instructions. First add some seasoned rice. Place some tuna mixture in the middle. Add more rice on top. Now press the onigiri. Optional: decorate the onigiri with a cute face.
Add to bentos! In my bento box I also got rolled omelette, tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots.
