Nigiri & Sashimi Platters Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm sushi rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Slice the Fish

   Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh salmon and tuna into thin, even pieces for sashimi. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick.

4. 4

   Form Nigiri

   With wet hands, take a small amount of sushi rice (about the size of a golf ball) and shape it into an oval. Press a slice of salmon or tuna on top of the rice. Repeat until all rice and fish are used.

5. 5

   Arrange the Platter

   On a large platter, arrange the nigiri and sashimi slices. Add thinly sliced cucumber and avocado for garnish. Include wasabi and pickled ginger on the side.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the platters with soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy your homemade nigiri and sashimi!
