Sashimi and Nigiri Ingredients
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Sashimi
Slice the salmon, tuna, and yellowtail into thin, even pieces, arranging them beautifully on one side of the sword.
- 2
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Cook sushi rice according to package instructions, then allow it to cool slightly before handling.
- 3
Form the Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice, mold it into an oval shape, and place a piece of the seafood on top (for shrimp and grilled eel, you may need to briefly blanch or grill them before placing on rice).
- 4
Assemble on the Sword
Place the nigiri pieces alongside the sashimi on the sword. Arrange them aesthetically, alternating colors and types.
- 5
Serve
Serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
