Nigiri Preparation
- 1
Cook the Sushi Rice
Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, typically using a rice cooker or stovetop method.

Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, let it cool slightly. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice, being careful not to mash the grains.

Form the Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of seasoned rice (about 1-2 tablespoons) and mold it into an oval shape. Top each rice mound with a slice of fresh salmon or tuna.
