Prepare the Fillings: Reheat the leftover mapo tofu, then let it cool down before assembling. Wash and tear the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.
Assemble the Onigirazu: Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Place a nori sheet on top, shiny side down. Spread some rice in the center, shaping it into a small square. Add the nori tsukudani, mapo tofu, and lettuce on top. Cover it with another layer of rice.
Fold the Nori: Fold the corners of the nori toward the center, wrapping the fillings into a square. Use the plastic wrap to tightly wrap the onigirazu and gently press it so it holds its shape.
Slice and Serve: Let it sit for a few minutes so the nori softens and sticks. Then, cut it in half (wet it slightly to prevent sticking) and enjoy!
