Spicy Avocado and Salmon Nigiri

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Japanese rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Cook the rice according to the package instructions or using a rice cooker. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Slice the pink salmon into thin strips, approximately 1 cm wide.

4. 4

   Peel and pit the avocado, then slice it into thin strips.

5. 5

   Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Take a small amount of rice and shape it into an oval ball, about the size of a large grape.

6. 6

   Place a strip of salmon on top of the rice ball, gently pressing it down to adhere.

7. 7

   Add a thin slice of avocado on top of the salmon.

8. 8

   Repeat the process with the remaining rice, salmon, and avocado.

9. 9

   Serve the nigiri with a small dab of wasabi on the side or on top of each piece, according to your preference.

10. 10

    Enjoy your Spicy Avocado and Salmon Nigiri with soy sauce and pickled ginger, if desired.
