Nigiri Ingredients

Method

Nigiri Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook and Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice while it is still warm. Set aside to cool.

  3. 3

    Form Nigiri

    Wet your hands and take a small amount of the seasoned sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons). Form it into a small oval shape. Place a slice of tuna or salmon on top of the rice and press gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Serve Nigiri

    Place the nigiri on a serving plate. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side.

Sashimi Preparation

  1. 5

    Slice Fish

    Ensure the fish is very fresh. Using a sharp knife, slice the tuna and salmon into thin, even slices (about 1/4 inch thick).

  2. 6

    Arrange Sashimi

    On a serving plate, arrange the sashimi slices in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Include a small pile of pickled ginger on the side.

  3. 7

    Serve Sashimi

    Serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side for dipping.
