Rice "koloboks" (onigiri, omusubi)

Onigiri is a Japanese dish, notable for the fact that it can be prepared from a minimal set of products that are now sold in any supermarket. In Japan, such rice balls are usually taken with them to school, to work or on a trip, but they can also be prepared for a home dinner with family or friends. Such "lazy rolls" turn out. Of course, these "lazy rolls" are not exactly lazy, but it's worth it.

Prepare food for making rice balls.
How to make rice balls (onigiri, omusubi):
Pour rice (about half a glass) into a container and rinse it, draining the water at least ten times. Due to this, the rice will not only become clean, but also absorb some amount of water. Then pour it into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and pour a glass of water (that is, the ratio of rice to water should be 1: 2). Without closing the pan, bring the rice to a boil, then turn the heat to a minimum, cover the pan and let the rice cook for 10-15 minutes.
When the rice has absorbed all the water, turn off the stove, cover the pan with a waffle or paper towel (to prevent steam from escaping), and cover the top with a lid and leave for another 10-15 minutes.
While the rice is infused, prepare the filling: cut lightly salted salmon into small pieces of arbitrary shape.
Cut the nori sheet into 4 strips. More strips can be prepared as the final amount of onigiri depends on the size you decide to make.
Now add vinegar to the rice (regular table vinegar or vinegar for sushi) and mix.
We begin to sculpt koloboks from warm rice. To do this, moisten your palm with water, place a handful of rice on it, flatten it slightly, and then squeeze your palm a little to create a dimple in the center of the rice cake. It can be deepened with your fingers. Put some fish in this dimple.
Put another handful of rice on top and gently shape your piece into a ball with both hands. Likewise, form as many rice balls as enough rice and filling.
Wrap each ball with a strip of nori with the smooth side out (if the strip is too long, trim off the excess).
"Lazy" rolls are ready to eat.
