Recipe of Nigiri Sushi

Join me and let's see how to make Nigiri Sushi

Instructions:

Step 1
• Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Step 2
• Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop following the package instructions.
Step 3
• While the rice is still hot, transfer it to a large, shallow bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Pour this mixture over the cooked rice.
Step 4
• Using a wooden spatula, gently fold the vinegar mixture into the rice while fanning the rice to cool it down. Continue until the rice reaches room temperature.
Step 5
• Prepare a small bowl of water with a few drops of rice vinegar to wet your hands. This prevents the rice from sticking to your hands.
Step 6
• Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into an oval or rectangular mound using your hands. Make sure it's compact and evenly shaped.
Step 7
• Place a slice of your chosen seafood or topping on top of the rice. If you're using nori seaweed, wrap a strip around the base of the rice before adding the topping.
Step 8
• Serve the nigiri sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side. You can also add freshly sliced vegetables for extra variety.
Step 9
• Enjoy your homemade nigiri sushi as a delightful Japanese delicacy!
