Preparation: Cut the nori sheet into three equal pieces. Prepare the cooked rice, kombu tsukudani, a bowl of water, and salt.
Assemble: Place some rice in a small bowl, make a small dent in the center, and add the kombu tsukudani. Cover with more rice.
Shape the Onigiri: Wet your hands with water, sprinkle salt (using two fingertips) on your palms, and rub together. Place the rice in your hand and gently press with both palms to form a triangle, rolling it a few times to shape.
Wrap: Wrap the rice ball with a piece of nori.
