Egg Nigiri Sushi

Egg Nigiri Sushi is a type of sushi that consists of a small oval-shaped mound of sushi rice topped with a slice of cured egg. The egg used for this type of sushi is usually a Japanese variety known as tamago, which is made from a mixture of beaten eggs, sugar, and soy sauce. Egg Nigiri sushi is a popular choice for sushi lovers due to its simplicity and mild flavor. It is often served as an appetizer or part of a larger sushi meal.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

4 cups cooked Japanese-style white rice
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until the sugar and salt are dissolved.
Step 2

Add the cooked rice to the bowl and use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold the rice and vinegar mixture together. Set aside.
Step 3

In a medium skillet, cook the eggs until they are soft-boiled, about 5 minutes. Peel and slice the eggs into thin strips.
Step 4

To assemble the nigiri sushi, take a handful of the rice and press it into a small oval shape. Place a strip of egg on top of the rice and press it down lightly. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
