Mastering the Art of Hamachi Sushi: A Step-by-Step Guide

Preparing the Sushi Rice

Start by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly before mixing in the sushi vinegar.

Slicing the Hamachi

With a sharp knife, slice the Hamachi into thin, even pieces. Remember, the key to good sushi is the quality and cut of the fish.

Shaping the Sushi

Wet your hands and take a small amount of sushi rice. Shape it into a rectangle, then place a slice of Hamachi on top. Gently press the fish onto the rice.

Adding the Finishing Touches

Finish your sushi by adding a dab of wasabi on top of the Hamachi, if desired. You can also garnish with thinly sliced scallions or sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
