Preparation Steps

Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it sit for 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Nigiri
