Nigiri and Makimono Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 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, transfer to a large bowl, add rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, and mix gently. Let it cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Make Nigiri

    Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small portion of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into an oval. Top each rice portion with a slice of fresh salmon or tuna. Repeat to make a total of 12 pieces.

  3. 3

    Prepare Makimono

    Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice on top, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge. Place slices of avocado and cucumber in the center. Roll tightly using the mat, then slice into 6 pieces. Repeat with the second nori sheet.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Arrange the nigiri and makimono on a serving platter. Drizzle hama chili sauce over the top and serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
