1. Cook the rice.

2. Keep it warm, but let it cool enough so that it won't burn your hands.

3. Cut each nori sheet into 9 strips.

4. Wet your hands and sprinkle them with salt to prevent the rice from sticking to them.

5. Mold a handful of rice into a triangular shape with an indentation in the middle.

6. Press a piece of umeboshi into the indentation you left.

7. Wrap the rice and umeboshi in Nori strips.

8. Serve immediately or save for later.
