- 300 g Japanese short-grain sushi rice
- 350 ml water
- 60 ml rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
Salad
- 200 g cooked and seasoned sushi rice (prepared as mentioned above)
- 150 g assorted sashimi-grade fish (e.g., tuna, salmon, yellowtail), diced
- 100 g cooked and peeled small shrimp
- 1 cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 carrot julienned
- 1/2 red bell pepper thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp pickled ginger (gari)
- 2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
- Nori (seaweed) strips for garnish
Dressing
- 60 ml soy sauce
- 30 ml mirin
- 30 ml rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp grated ginger
Instructions
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain the rice.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 360 milliliters of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large wooden or glass bowl. Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the hot rice and gently fold it in using a wooden spatula or rice paddle. Be careful not to smash the rice. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, and grated ginger to make the dressing for the salad. Set aside.
- Prepare your choice of sashimi-grade fish by dicing it into small pieces.
- To assemble the salad, place the seasoned sushi rice in a serving dish. Arrange the diced fish, cooked shrimp, cucumber slices, avocado slices, julienned carrots, and red bell pepper slices on top of the rice.
- Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
- Garnish with pickled ginger, roasted sesame seeds, and nori strips.
