Sashimi

Rice

Method

Sashimi Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Fish

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and octopus into thin, even pieces about 1/4 inch thick. Arrange the slices on a serving plate.

  2. 2

    Prepare Condiments

    Place a small dollop of wasabi on the side of the sashimi plate, and pour soy sauce into a small dipping bowl. Add pickled ginger in another small bowl for serving.

Rice Preparation

  1. 3

    Rinse Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch that can make the rice gummy.

  2. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice with 450 ml of water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.

  3. 5

    Make Seasoning

    In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently over low heat, stirring until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  4. 6

    Season the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the hot rice and gently fold it in using a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
