Homemade nigiri sushi

Ingredients

• 300 g of sushi rice
• rice vinegar, as needed
• 30 g of wasabi
• 6 slices of raw or smoked salmon (ikura)
• 6 small portions of raw mackerel or salted cod (also known as berdel or bakailao)
• 6 cooked, peeled, and halved shrimp
• 6 anchovies in vinegar, cut in half
• 6 slices of rolled omelette (tamago) that are 1.5 cm thick
• ginger marinated in vinegar, to taste
• soy sauce, for serving

Wet your hands with water.

Take a spoonful of seasoned rice in your hand, squeeze it, and shape it into an oval ball.

At the center of the bowl, use your finger to place a small amount of wasabi, then place the fish, shrimp, anchovy, or whatever you prefer on top.

Gently press the filling with your finger to ensure it adheres well, then arrange the nigiri on a plate.

Serve with the marinated ginger and soy sauce.
