#Food #Sushi #Nigiri Nigiri is a traditional Japanese sushi consisting of a hand-pressed oval mound of sushi rice topped with fresh fish or other ingredients. To make nigiri, start by preparing seasoned sushi rice with a blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Using damp hands, shape a small amount of rice into an oblong form. Then, place a thin slice of fresh fish—such as tuna, salmon, or shrimp—over the rice. Optionally, add a small dab of wasabi between the rice and fish for extra flavor. Gently press to secure the topping, and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
