Ebi Nigiri - Sushi with Shrimp

Take a small amount of the prepared sushi rice in your palm and form it into an even, elongated loaf. Be careful not to press the rice too firmly, so it remains loose.

Place a tiny dab of Wasabi paste on the underside of the prepared shrimp. Then, place the shrimp, Wasabi-side down, onto the rice loaf and gently press it so it conforms to the shape of the rice.

Arrange the finished Ebi Nigiri on a plate. Traditionally, serve the sushi with a small bowl of soy sauce for dipping and some pickled ginger to neutralize the palate between bites. Enjoy your meal!
