Method
Cook the rice and let it cool slightly until warm, then mix the rice vinegar, sugar and salt and pour over the warm rice, folding gently with a cutting motion (not mashing) while fanning it to cool it and give it its signature gloss.
Wet your hands with water mixed with a little vinegar, take a tablespoon-sized portion of rice and shape it into a gently pressed oval mound.
Dab a little wasabi on the salmon slice, then lay it over the rice mound and press gently with two fingers to secure it without crushing the rice.
Arrange the nigiri on a serving plate and serve immediately with soy sauce for dipping and pickled ginger between pieces to cleanse the palate.
