Wash the short grain sushi rice in several changes of water until it runs clear.
Cook the rice with water and let it rest with the lid closed for 10 minutes.
Mix rice vinegar, granulated sugar and salt into the rice.
Slice the sashimi-quality tuna diagonally with a sharp knife.
Shape the rice into small oval bites in the palm of your hand, without squeezing.
Spread wasabi on the rice and place the tuna slice.
Serve tuna nigiri with soy sauce and pickled ginger.
💡 Tip: Cutting the tuna by paying attention to the fiber direction keeps the texture soft.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the fish side lightly with the soy sauce.
