Ordinary long grain rice might not work because it's not sticky enough. Even if you add water, it's just going to turn out mushy. You may want to try Dona Maria brand Jasponica though. It's long grain but a bit stickier, but it's still pretty expensive. Much cheaper than Japanese Koshihikari though. And traditionally, onigiri's made with plain and not sushi rice. :D Using sushi rice for onigiri's the one that's non-traditional, so I guess it's up to your personal preferences. :D Hi curious!
