Mackerel Nigiri Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare 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, transfer to a bowl.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm sushi rice. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Mackerel
If using fresh mackerel, ensure it is filleted properly. You may also lightly marinate it in soy sauce for 10-15 minutes for added flavor.

Form Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 1-2 tablespoons) and mold it into an oval shape. Top with a slice of mackerel.
