Ingredients

    1 cup of white rice
    1/2 can of canned tuna in water
    1 tsp of yellow mustard
    1 tbsp of salt
    1/2 cup water
    sesame seeds

Directions

Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stove. As the rice is cooking prepare the other ingredients.

Put the water and salt in a bowl and heat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Set aside to cool.

Mix the tuna with mustard (or mayonnaise if you prefer) and any other seasonings to desired taste.

When the rice has finished cooking and is cool enough for you to handle, wet your hands with the salt water and scoop out 1/3 cup of rice into your hand. Put no more then a third of the tuna mixture in to the center and roll into a ball, log or triangle.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on the outside and enjoy.

Almost anything can be put in the center. Commonly fish or other meat is used.
