Ingredients

• 200 grams Fresh scallops
• 250 grams Sushi rice
• 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 pieces Nori sheets
• 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi
• 50 grams Pickled ginger
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse 250 grams of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

Step 2

In a pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the pot from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 5

While the rice sits, mix 3 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar dissolves entirely.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Pour the vinegar mixture over the rice and gently fold to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Prepare the scallops by patting them dry with a paper towel. Slice each scallop into two or three thin discs, depending on size.

Step 8

Lay a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface. Place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.

Step 9

With dampened hands, spread a thin, even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 10

Arrange the sliced scallops in a single line across the center of the rice.

Step 11

Optional: Add a small amount of wasabi along the line of scallops for added flavor and heat.

Step 12

Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight cylinder. Seal the edge with a little water as needed.

Step 13

Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice the sushi roll into 6 even pieces.

Step 14

Repeat the rolling process with the remaining ingredients until all rolls are made.

Step 15

Serve with soy sauce, additional wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
