Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Form the Nigiri

    Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of rice (about 2 tablespoons) and form it into an oval shape. Place a slice of your choice of fish (Hamachi, Eel, Salmon, or Tuna) on top of the rice.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the nigiri on a serving platter. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side for dipping.
