I love onigiri, but find it difficult to make them into triangles, I got frustrates one day, threw all the ingredients into a bowl and stirred, and I have enjoyed Onigiribowl(patent pending/s) ever since.

The trick is to use the bend of your hand as a mold for each side. I’m sure there’s a multitude of YouTube videos showing how.
That’s kind of what chirashizushi is, it just usually has a lot more complex toppings and you don’t stir them into the rice.

You can also buy a triangle-shaped rice press and ready-made onigiri packaging at any japanese grocery store, makes it a lot easier.

You might enjoy takikomi gohan.
