Let the cooked rice cool slightly until manageable to handle.

Mix sushi vinegar with the rice and fold gently to combine.

Wet your hands with water and take a handful of rice, shaping it into a triangle or ball.

Place a small amount of filling, such as salmon or red tuna, in the center of the rice.

Encase the filling with more rice and reshape if necessary.

Top with masago and sprinkle with green onion for garnish.

Drizzle with sriracha, mayonnaise, and unagi sauce as desired.
