Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse Sushi Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook Sushi Rice

    In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice with 1 cup of water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season Sushi Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spoon. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Prepare Nori

    Cut the nori sheets in half to create rectangles. Place them on a clean work surface.

  2. 5

    Form Sushi

    With wet hands, take a small amount of sushi rice and mold it into an oval shape. Place it on one half of the nori.

  3. 6

    Add Uni

    Gently place a piece of fresh Hokkaido uni on top of the molded rice.

  4. 7

    Garnish

    Sprinkle chopped chives over the uni for garnish.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Serve the uni sushi with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
