Sung Anh's Super Tuna Melting Onigiri

Chef Sung Anh reimagines his cherished American-era tuna melt sandwich into a fusion onigiri. Crispy roasted seaweed is layered with seasoned rice, mayonnaise-tuna mixture, herbs, and cheese, then folded in half to create a melty, savory bite.

Cooking tips

  • Avoid spreading rice too thickly on the seaweed, as it may tear or become bulky when folding—keep it as thin and even as possible.
  • Any cheese that melts well under heat—such as white cheddar, regular cheddar, or mozzarella—can be used freely.
  • Timing is key: ensure the seaweed stays crisp and not soggy by folding at just the right moment.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a unique fusion of Japanese onigiri and American-style tuna melt.
  • Fans of creamy mayonnaise tuna paired with smooth, melting cheese.
  • Anyone wanting to enjoy an elegant, one-handed meal with subtle herb fragrance.
