Niigata Sake Infused Sushi Surprise

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sushi rice
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup Niigata sake
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Assorted sushi-grade fish (e.g., tuna, salmon, yellowtail)
  • Seaweed sheets (nori)
  • Soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, Niigata sake, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  3. Transfer the cooked rice to a large wooden or glass bowl. Gradually fold in the vinegar mixture, using a cutting motion to mix, until the rice is seasoned and sticky.
  4. Prepare the sushi by laying a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of seasoned rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
  5. Arrange the sliced fish on top of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, then slice into individual pieces.
  6. Serve the sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side.
