Place a piece of cling film on the counter. Place the radishes in one

Infinite circle on the foil. Put the nori circle on here and then the rice ball.

Grab the tips of the foil and turn the foil as close to the rises, so that everything is tight and you have a nice round ball. Let rest for a while, so that the radishes mold to the rice. Then remove the foil
