Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, then let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is slightly cool, gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice. Set aside.

    Carefully peel the ama ebi, leaving the tails intact. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

    Assembly

    On a serving plate, shape a small mound of sushi rice and place 1-2 pieces of ama ebi on top. Serve with a side of soy sauce and a small dab of wasabi.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Optionally, cut the nori sheet into small strips and place them on the side for garnish.
