Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes.
- 2
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice using a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Slice the Yellowtail
Using a sharp knife, slice the yellowtail fish into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick, ensuring you cut against the grain.
- 4
Form 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-shaped mound. Place a slice of yellowtail on top of the rice mound.

Serve
Repeat the process for the second piece of nigiri. Serve the yellowtail nigiri with wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger on the side.
