Serves:

Preparation Time:
3 minutes
Total Time:
3 minutes

Step 1: You will need:

  • some sushi rice
  • 1 salmon fillet
  • some wasabi
  • knife
  • bowl of water

Step 2: Slice

Slice the fish into rectangles that are about 5cm by 4cm and half a centimetre thick.

Step 3: Form the Nigiri

First, dip your hands in a bowl of water. This will make the rice easier to handle.

Pick up a strip of fish in one hand and a ball of rice in the other. Smear a pinch of wasabi onto the fish and lay the rice on top.

Flip the nigiri over, lightly squeeze and turn to ensure that it is evenly pressed. Let's see that again; fish, wasabi, rice flip it over and turn to ensure that it is evenly pressed.

This hand-turning method is called te-geashi. It's purpose is to make the sushi evenly pressed without mashing the rice.

Step 4: Serve

Nigiri is always served in pairs to symbolise peace. They are usually served with other sushi dishes, recipes for which can be found on the VideoJug website.

    If you don't like hot food you don't have to add the wasabi

    The hand turning method is "te-gAEshi" and the most important point in the turning method is introducing air into the rice. He uses his left thumb to make an indent into the rice ball to introduce air when he places it on the fish. This makes the sushi lighter and more tasty.

    Get Sushi grade salmon. Raw salmon is dangerous to eat without it first being cured with Mirin, Rice vinegar or another brine process. You should have emphasized this!
