Method

  • Cook the rice following the method in the sushi rice recipe explains, or follow the instructions on the package. Let the rice cool.
  • Mix sugar and salt into the rice vinegar until everything is dissolved.
  • Pour a little of the vinegar mixture over the cooled rice and gently fold it in. The rice should not become too moist, so try with a little at a time.
  • Mix water with a little rice vinegar, and lightly moisten your hands to prevent the rice from sticking. Take about 1 tablespoon of sushi rice and gently shape it with one hand into an elongated, rice grain-like shape.
  • Spread a small amount of wasabi under a slice of salmon and place it over the rice. Gently squeeze along the sides and on top so that the fish and rice adhere to each other. Serve the sushi pieces with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

Tip:Feel free to use other types of seafood for nigiri sushi, such as scallops and halibut.
