Rinse the short-grain rice until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with water and let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
Fold the rice vinegar, sugar and salt into the hot rice.
Drain the wakame salad and mix with sesame seeds.
Cut the nori sheets into long strips.
Shape the rice into small oval balls and wrap a nori strip around each one.
Fill the tops of the gunkan with wakame and serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
💡 Tip: Draining the wakame salad prevents the gunkan from loosening and opening.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve as a starter with wasabi, soy sauce and cucumber pickles.
