Preparation Steps

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 bowl.

2. Season the Rice

In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. Prepare the Avocado

Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.

4. Assemble the Nigiri

Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a small amount of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons). Shape it into an oval mound. Place a slice of avocado on top of the rice mound.

5. Serve

Drizzle the yuzu kosho and tamari over the avocado nigiri. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with nori sheets on the side if desired.
