- Place 1 spoon of orange mayonnaise on top and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place ½ cup (125 ml) of rice on top of the other ingredients and press firmly to compact.
- Lightly moisten the corners of the nori sheet and pull them up towards the centre using the plastic sheet, one at a time, pressing lightly so they adhere.
