It's quite easy to make Onigiri!

You should be using freshly made (or at least reheated) short-grain/sushi rice. Let the rice cool to a temperature that your bare hands can handle before starting.

• Fill a bowl with warm water and stir in some salt. You will use this to dip your hands in from time to time in order to keep the rice from sticking to you. How much salt is up to you (you can omit it altogether if you like).
• Dip your hands in the water, then scoop out a handful of warm rice (~1/2 cup) into one hand. Using the other hand, make an indentation in the rice and place some filling (~1 tsp. – or more if you're a master) inside. Use your hands to mold and press the rice around the filling.
• You can then shape your rice ball into a triangle, circle, or cylinder before wrapping it entirely in nori or just wrapping a strip of nori around it.
• Though you can leave it plain if you like and just add soy sauce or wasabi when you eat.
