0.3 lb sushi grade salmon
1 cup uncooked Japanese short-grain rice
1 cup water
1/8 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1 small sheet of kombu (optional)
Fly By Jing Xtra Spicy Chili Crisp
Instructions
Rinse and wash rice, then drain extra water.
Cook rice in a rice cooker or stove top.
Optional: add a sheet of kombu when cooking rice.
As the rice cooks, make sushi vinegar by combining sugar, salt, and vinegar in a saucepan on medium heat. Once sugar completely dissolves, remove and let cool.
When rice is done cooking, season by folding rice into a bowl and with sushi vinegar evenly distributed. Fold several times then set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, slice the salmon diagonally into ⅛ inch pieces.
