Scallop Preparation
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.
- 2
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooled rice. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- 3
Slice Scallops
Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh scallops into thin pieces for sashimi, or leave them whole for nigiri.
- 4
Form Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and form it into an oval shape. Place a whole scallop on top of the rice. Optionally, add a small amount of wasabi between the rice and scallop.
- 5
Serve
Arrange the nigiri and sashimi on a plate. Serve with soy sauce and additional wasabi on the side.
