def: Onigiri is a triangular assembly of rice wrapped in nori (aka most of the sides are nori (of course depending how you make the onigiri))

(O_+N_)(I(G_)I(R_)I)*
"assembled" = anagram (swap the two halves)
"bits of glutinous rice" = G_R_
"in" = containment
"triangle sides" = 3 lines make up the triangle sides (III), so I(G)I(R)I
"of nori, mainly" = O_+N_

? for "triangle sides"=III with funky containment
