Directions

  1. Open the shrimp by cutting along the length, while keeping the tail intact. ≈ 3 min
  2. Using a knife, make an incision on the back and remove the black filament. ≈ 3 min
  3. Fill a cup with hot water, then add rice vinegar. ≈ 10 min
  4. Soak your hands in the vinaigrette, take the cooked rice, and form about 20 small balls by gently pressing the rice between your hands.
  5. After preparing each meatball, dip your hands in water to prevent the rice from sticking to your skin.
  6. Lay them out on a fabric covered with stretch film. ≈ 4 min
  7. Place the salmon on the palm of one hand, and with the index finger of the other hand, apply a thin layer of wasabi to it. ≈ 3 min
  8. Next, take a small portion of rice and place it on top of the salmon, ensuring that the wasabi comes into contact with the rice. ≈ 3 min
  9. Compress the sushi as much as possible without crushing it, then place it back on a serving plate. ≈ 4 min
  10. Also, prepare the shrimp sushi in the same way: apply a small amount of wasabi to the cut parts of the shrimp, then place these parts on top of the rice balls. ≈ 3 min
  11. Cover the sushi with cling film and store it in the refrigerator until 10 minutes before serving.
