Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to low, cover, and cook for 18 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is done, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Then transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Preparing the Fish
- 4
Slice the Fish
Using a sharp knife, slice the hamachi, salmon, and tuna into thin, even pieces, about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange them neatly on a clean plate.
