Nigiri Ingredients

Method

Nigiri Preparation

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

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

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

Serve Nigiri

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

Sashimi Preparation

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).

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.

7

Serve Sashimi

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