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

Shape the 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.
