Prepare the sushi rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker or pot, and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring it to a boil and then simmer covered for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

Form the nigiri
