Method
Preparation of Sashimi
- 1
Slice the Fish
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the fresh salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and scallops into thin, even slices. Aim for about 1/4 inch thick slices, placing them on a chilled plate.
- 2
Serve with Condiments
Place a small dollop of wasabi paste next to the sashimi and pour soy sauce into a small bowl for dipping.
Preparation of Rice
- 3
Rinse the Sushi Rice
Measure 1 cup of sushi rice and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 4
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.5 cups of water. Cook according to your rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- 5
Prepare Sushi Vinegar
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
- 6
Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. While the rice is still warm, gently fold in the sushi vinegar mixture using a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Be careful not to mash the rice.
- 7
Cool the Rice
Let the seasoned rice cool to room temperature before serving.
