Sushi Rice

Fish

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for another 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice with a wooden spatula to season it. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Fish

  1. 4

    Slice the Fish

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh tuna, salmon, and yellowtail into thin sashimi slices. Make sure to cut against the grain for a tender texture.

Prepare Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger. This will serve as a dipping sauce for the sushi.

Assemble Sushi

  1. 6

    Form Sushi

    With a wet hand, take a small amount of sushi rice and form it into an oblong shape. Top each piece with a slice of the prepared fish.

  2. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the sushi for added flavor and presentation.
