Prepare rice per instructions on package. Allow to cool slightly (~2-3 mins) then fold in the sushi vinegar.

Place your desired toppings onto a square piece of cling film. Scoop out a ¼ cup of rice and place on your toppings. Form the ingredients into a ball shape and press firmly and tight with the cling film to ensure the rice holds its shape. Refrigerate for 30 mins.
