Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

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

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wagyu

    Using a kitchen torch, lightly sear the thin slices of Wagyu beef until just cooked, about 5-10 seconds each side. Be careful not to overcook.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Nigiri

    Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 1 tablespoon) and form it into an oval shape. Place a slice of torched Wagyu on top of the rice.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings

    Garnish each piece of Wagyu nigiri with a small dollop of caviar. Drizzle with sesame oil and serve with wasabi and soy sauce on the side.
