Ingredients (Makes 10-12 Sushi Balls)

For the Sushi Rice:
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water (for cooking)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Toppings:
  • Fish and Seafood:
    • 4-5 thin slices of sashimi-grade salmon
    • 4-5 thin slices of sashimi-grade tuna
    • 4-5 small cooked shrimp (tail removed)
  • Vegetables:
    • 1/2 cucumber (thinly sliced)
    • 1/2 avocado (sliced thin)
    • Thinly sliced radish (for garnish)
  • Other Toppings (optional):
    • Sesame seeds (white or black)
    • Chopped green onion
    • Small pieces of nori (seaweed sheets) for decoration
    • Pickled ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sushi Rice:

    • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
    • Cook the rice with 1 1/4 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot according to the package instructions.
    • In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
    • Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spoon or rice paddle. Set the rice aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Shape the Sushi Balls:

    • Prepare a bowl of water with a bit of vinegar in it (to prevent sticking). Wet your hands lightly with the water.
    • Take about 1-2 tablespoons of rice and gently shape it into a small ball (about the size of a golf ball). Set aside and repeat with the rest of the rice.
  3. Assemble the Sushi Balls:

    • Lay a piece of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Place a slice of salmon, tuna, shrimp, cucumber, avocado, or radish in the center of the wrap.
    • Place a rice ball on top of the topping. Gather the plastic wrap around the rice and twist it to form a compact ball shape with the topping neatly wrapped around.
    • Carefully unwrap the sushi ball and place it on a serving plate. Repeat with different toppings.
  4. Garnish and Serve:

    • Sprinkle sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top of the sushi balls for added flavor and presentation.
    • Serve the sushi balls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.

    Tips for Perfect Sushi Balls

    • Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest fish or vegetables for the best flavor and presentation.
    • Mix and Match Toppings: Experiment with different toppings and garnishes, such as sliced mango, egg omelette, or thinly sliced carrots, to make colorful sushi balls.
    • Serve Immediately: Sushi balls taste best when served fresh. If you need to store them, keep them covered in the fridge for up to a few hours before serving.
