Nigiri Ingredients
Method
Nigiri Preparation Directions
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.
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm sushi rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Slice the Salmon
Using a sharp knife, slice the king salmon fillet against the grain into thin, bite-sized pieces.
Form the Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into an oval. Place a slice of salmon on top of the rice and press gently to adhere.
Serve
Place the nigiri on a serving plate. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side for dipping.
