Method

  1. 1 Cook the rice until it's slightly sticky, then let it cool down until it's still warm to the touch.
  2. 2 Peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact, make incisions along the belly, and straighten them so they don't curl up when fried.
  3. 3 Dip the shrimp in flour, then deep-fry until golden brown and crispy. Drain off excess oil and drizzle with soy sauce.
  4. 4 Rub salt on your damp palms, place a piece of rice in it, hide the shrimp in the middle, and shape it into a triangle, leaving the shrimp's tail sticking out.
  5. 5 Wrap a strip of nori seaweed around the bottom of the rice ball.
