Tuna Nigiri Sushi

Tuna Nigiri Sushi is a type of sushi made with raw tuna and sushi rice. It is a popular form of sushi that can be found in most sushi restaurants. The traditional presentation is to place a slice of raw tuna on top of a small ball of sushi rice, then press it together with your fingers. The combination of the freshness of the tuna and the flavor of the sushi rice makes for a delicious and satisfying bite. It can be served with a variety of accompaniments, including soy sauce, wasabi, pickled ginger, and more.

Ingredients (2 Persons)

  • 4 ounces sushi-grade tuna
  • 2 tablespoons sushi vinegar
  • 4 cups cooked sushi rice
  • 4 sheets nori seaweed
  • Wasabi, for serving (optional)

Directions

  • Step 1
    Cut the tuna into four equal-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a shallow bowl and season with the sushi vinegar.
  • Step 2
    Divide the cooked sushi rice into four equal portions. Place one portion onto a sheet of nori seaweed and, using your hands, spread it out over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Step 3
    Place one piece of tuna in the center of the rice. Using your fingers, gently press down to flatten the tuna.
  • Step 4
    Fold the nori over the tuna and press down to form a rectangular shape. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
