Main Ingredient

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice with 1.5 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    Once the sushi rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Slice the Chu Toro

    Using a sharp knife, slice the chu toro into bite-sized pieces. Aim for thin slices to enhance the texture and flavor.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange the slices of chu toro alongside a small dish of soy sauce and a dollop of wasabi. Garnish with pickled ginger. Serve with sushi rice on the side.
