Add 5 tbsp tempura flakes (tenkasu), 1 tbsp aonori (dried green seaweed powder), 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce (koikuchi shoyu), ½ tsp sugar, ¼ tsp dashi granules, ¼ tsp toasted sesame oil, and ¼ tsp Chinese-style chicken bouillon powder to a large bowl.
Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly distributed.
Once all the liquid is absorbed, add 300 g cooked Japanese short-grain rice to the bowl and mix until the mixture is evenly spread through the rice.
Divide the rice into equal portions and shape. Refer to the 3 ways to shape onigiri article for advice on how to shape onigiri by hand, using plastic wrap, or a mold.
