Do you guys have any ideas? is it possible to use soyasaus on the onigiri 
And by the way, how does nori taste?, sweet/ sour/ salty/ bitter?
can i use smoked salmon inside onigiri og egg? 
Also do you have an onigiri recipie that only makes one onigiri or two small ones? (i have small hands)
Do you guys know of anything that makes the rice stickier?
I'm what people would call an Onigiri amateur |
Along with Trunker's notes, yes, smoked slamon and/or egg can be used.
As a last resort, if you are using jasmine or basmatti rice, add more water during the cooking and overcook it a little so the starch sticks it together more, but not until it is mushy. Its hard to guess perfectly, but it can be done. That will at least get the onigiri to hold its shape once the rice is cooled.
