Method
Nigiri Directions

Cook Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Season Rice
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Form Nigiri
