Hirame Nigiri Ingredients

Preparation

Preparation Instructions

1. 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 cool slightly.

2. Season the Rice

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

3. Prepare the Hirame

Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh Hirame fillet into thin pieces, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

4. Form the Nigiri

Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small handful of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and form it into an oval shape. Place a slice of Hirame on top of the rice. Optionally, you can add a small dab of wasabi between the rice and the fish.

5. Serve

Arrange the Hirame nigiri on a plate. Serve with soy sauce and additional wasabi on the side.
