Wash the rice until the water runs clear and drain for 20 minutes.
Cook the rice with water, let it rest for 10 minutes with the lid closed.
Melt the rice vinegar, sugar and salt and mix it into the hot rice.
Flatten the shrimps with a bamboo stick and boil them in salt water for 3 minutes.
Cool the shrimp and open them like a butterfly.
Wet your hands slightly and squeeze the rice into oval bites.
Spread a little wasabi on each piece of rice, place shrimp, and serve with soy sauce.
💡 Tip: Boiling the shrimp flat with a bamboo stick ensures that it stays on top of the nigiri without curling.
