Ingredients

  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 8 oz fresh fish (e.g., salmon, tuna)
  • Wasabi (to taste)
  • Soy sauce (for serving)
  • Pickled ginger (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. 2In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  3. 3Once cooked, let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes to steam.
  4. 4In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice to season it. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
  5. 5While the rice cools, slice the fresh fish into thin pieces, about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. 6Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, and take a small amount of sushi rice (about 1-2 tablespoons).
  7. 7Shape the rice into an oval mound using your hands, pressing gently but firmly.
  8. 8Place a slice of fish on top of the rice mound. Optionally, add a small dab of wasabi between the rice and fish.
  9. 9Repeat the process until all the rice and fish are used up.
  10. 10Serve the nigiri sushi with soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side.
