How To Make Nigiri Sushi

How To Make Nigiri Sushi

Nigiri sushi is the most popular style of sushi in restaurants today. Served in pairs and seasoned with a speck of wasabi, nigiri sushi is a delicate and tasty treat. Master Chef Andy Matsuda shows us how to make pairs of tuna, shrimp and salmon nigiri sushi.

You will need

  • 2 boiled shrimp
  • 2 slices of tuna
  • 2 slices of salmon
  • 120 g sushi rice
  • ½ tsp wasabi paste , for each slice
  • 2 cups su water (water with dash of vinegar)
  • 1 sharp knife


Step 1:

Slice The Fish

Slice the tuna, salmon and shrimp into small slices. Cut two half an ounce slices of each.


Step 2:

Wet Your Hands

Wet both hands in su water and rub together, leaving them wet. Su water is water with a dash of vinegar added to it.


Step 3:

Roll The Rice

Grab a small palmful of rice with your right hand and squeeze together firmly until it sticks together.


Step 4:

A Dab Of Wasabi

After picking up a slice of tuna with your left hand, dab a little wasabi on the fish with the right index finger of your right hand.


Step 5:

Shape Your Sushi

Now add the squeezed rice to the tuna, placing the tuna with the wasabi side towards the rice.
Holding the tuna and rice in your left hand, use two fingers of your right hand to shape it into a rectangle with rounded corners. To do this you need to rotate and flip the rice and tuna, while pressing with your two fingers at the same time.


Step 6:

Salmon And Shrimp

Now repeat the process with the salmon and shrimp to make three types of nigiri sushi. Take your time rolling the rice into the right shape.


Step 7:

Garnish & Serve

Many sushi chefs believe preparing sushi is like creating a Zen garden. It must look just as good as it tastes. So arrange it and garnish it artfully.
Serve and enjoy.
