Sushi (Maki and Nigiri) is one of the most favored of recent trending meals on earth. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It’s simple, it is fast, it tastes yummy. They are nice and they look fantastic. Sushi (Maki and Nigiri) is something which I have loved my entire life.
Nigiri sushi isn't rolled like maki. Instead, a thin slice of raw or cooked fish is layered atop a mound of vinegary rice. Typically, a small amount of wasabi is placed between the fish and the rice, though in some case, a small strip of toasted seaweed, or nori, may be used instead.
To get started with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can cook sushi (maki and nigiri) using 12 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Sushi (Maki and Nigiri):
- Take 2 cups sushi rice
- Prepare 2 tbsp vinegar
- Take 1 tbsp mirin
- Get Pinch salt
- Prepare sheets Nori
- Take Salmon (MUST BE CAUGHT THE SAME DAY IT IS EATEN AS IT IS RAW)
- Prepare Prawns
- Make ready Tinned tuna
- Take Curly parsley
- Make ready Cucumber

Like maki, nigiri is another type of sushi. However, unlike maki, nigiri sushi is not rolled. Instead, the thinly sliced fish—either raw or cooked—is set atop a mound of vinegared rice. In between the rice and fish, sushi chefs will often place either a small amount of wasabi or toasted seaweed.
Steps to make Sushi (Maki and Nigiri):
- Prepare the 2 cups of rice with 2 3/4 cups water. Cook for twenty minutes or until all is absorbed and transfer to a bowl to cool. Whilst it is still hot, add the vinegar, salt and mirin, and combine with a wooden paddle.
- Cut up the avocado, pepper, salmon and cucumber. Butterfly the prawns and shred the tuna.
- Once the rice is room temperature, choose which type of sushi to make first.
- NIGIRI: Wet your hands and do not dry. The rice will stick otherwise. Make a small sausage with your thumbs using the rice, and then lay a piece of shrimp or salmon on top and shape again, pressing into your palm. Wrap a thin piece of nori around the Nigiri and it is ready to serve.
- MAKI: Prepare the bamboo roller by covering it with a piece of cling film. Add a sheet of nori, making sure the shorter side is facing the shorter end of the roller. Lay a thin layer of rice on 3/4 of the nori, and then add the peppers, cucumber and salmon on the end with the rice. Roll the Maki carefully, making sure to tuck in the nori as you roll so it stays tight. Roll it up tight and put in the fridge for fifteen minutes. Repeat for the tuna maki, using tuna, pepper, cucumber and avocado.
- Using a very sharp knife, slice the maki to make small but thick makis. Use any leftover fish to serve as sashimi.
- Serve with soya sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger. I also had haddock on the side. Enjoy!
Basically, sushi is a general word for any food that comes with vinegared rice. Therefore maki is sushi, nigirizushi is sushi and inarizushi are also considered sushi. Nigiri and musubi on the other hand are not sushi. What is maki 巻き, uramaki and temaki 手巻き (roll vs hand roll)? Nigiri is a small press ball of rice with the fish on top.
