Rinse the short-grain sushi rice until the water runs clear.
Cook the rice with the water, then let it rest covered for 10 minutes.
Mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt, then fold it into the hot rice.
Slice the scallops horizontally with a sharp knife into clean, even pieces.
Wet your hands with vinegared water and shape the rice into 12 small ovals.
Spread a tiny amount of wasabi on each rice oval and place a scallop slice on top.
Serve the scallop nigiri at once with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
💡 Tip: Keeping the scallops very cold until serving gives a clean taste and neater slices.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in small portions with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
