Nigiri Sushi Recipe Instructions
First, prepare the rice as described in the section on ingredients, then mix it with the sushi-su. Stretch out about 0.5m of kitchen foil, shiny side up, and spread the rice in a thin layer all over it to help it to cool quickly, probably best when making Nigiri sushi to just let the rice cool in a bowl.
Then slice your fish (salmon, eel (unagi), tuna, yellowtail, red snapper etc.) into slices of about 17mm x 45mm x 2mm thick. Any trimmings can be used to put into Maki rolls or frozen for later use in a fish pasta dish for example.
Once you have all your fish and rice ready, start making the Nigiris. First have a bowl of water with a liberal amount of rice vinegar in it to regularly wet your hands. Dip your (left or right) hand into the water and leave it wet.
For each Nigiri, take a small palm full of rice and squeeze it firmly until it sticks firmly together.
Put it down on a flat clean surface. Repeat as necessary for each Nigiri. Then using two thumbs and two forefingers, neatly shape the rice into 'cigar' shapes.
Optionally, add a small piece of wasabi to each nigiri....
Then lay the fish over the top of the rice, gently shaping it over the top of the rice.
The Nigiri Sushi is ready to serve!!... Enjoy!!
