  • Rice base

    • 💧 4 cups water
    • 2 cups uncooked white rice
    • ½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon white sugar
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt

  • Protein toppings

    • ¼ pound hamachi (yellowtail)
    • ¼ pound maguro (tuna)
    • 🍤 ¼ pound cooked Ebi (shrimp), shelled and butterflied
    • 🥚 6 eggs

  • Assembly

    • 1 teaspoon wasabi paste (optional)

STEPS

1

Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and liquid absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes.

2

Transfer rice to a bowl and cut in rice vinegar using a paddle or spoon. Season with sugar and salt. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.

3

Slice fish against the grain into pieces about 2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Refrigerate until ready to use.

4

Prepare egg omelet: Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt. Cook thin layers in a greased skillet over medium heat to create logs. Slice omelet into diagonal pieces.

5

Place fish/shrimp in hand, smear lightly with wasabi paste if desired. Form 1-2 tablespoons of rice into compact nuggets. Attach rice to fish/shrimp.

6

Repeat process with egg slices and rice nuggets. Wrap a strip of nori around each package, moistening to seal ends.
