INSTRUCTIONS
-
Start making rice “balls”. To do this, wet your fingertips and palms lightly with water. Grab
a walnut sized amount of prepared sushi rice (about 2 tablespoons) and mold it into a flat rectangular mound. The bottom should be flat. Repeat this with the remaining rice to form
10 –12 rice balls. -
Pat the bottom of each anchovy fillet dry. Place each anchovy fillet on top of each of the rice balls. Use a thin strip of nori to secure the anchovies to the rice balls. Before serving, top each nigiri with the topping(s) of your choice-
