Nigiri Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit covered for about 10 minutes.
Season the Sushi Rice
In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar and salt dissolve. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Form the Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 1-2 tablespoons) and form it into an oval shape. Place a piece of uni on top of the rice.
Serve
Arrange the nigiri on a plate and serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side. Enjoy your sea urchin nigiri!
