Step 1
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Press tofu between paper towels to remove excess moisture, then cut into small cubes.

Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Add tofu cubes and soy sauce, frying until golden brown.
Step 6
Place a shiso leaf on a piece of plastic wrap, top with a scoop of rice, a few tofu cubes, and wrap it tightly into a ball or triangle shape.
Step 7
Wrap each onigiri with a strip of nori, pressing gently to adhere. Serve immediately or store in a cool place until ready to eat.
