Sashimi/Nigiri Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice. Let it cool to room temperature.

Slice the Fish
Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh tuna or salmon into thin pieces for sashimi. For nigiri, cut the fish into slightly thicker slices.

Form Nigiri
Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about the size of a golf ball) and mold it into an oval shape. Place a slice of fish on top of the rice.

Serve
Arrange the sashimi and nigiri on a plate. Serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side. Optionally, garnish with a strip of nori.
