Ebi Nigiri Sushi

I made this a few months ago, but didn't really have the motivation to post it until today, at least it's a change from my bento posts...:).

I prefer making sushi rolls (maki) because I find it easier to make and less time-consuming, but I like having nigiri sushi too from time to time. My favourite topping for nigiri sushi is boiled shrimps.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sushi rice (short grain)
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• Boiled shrimps
  
• Wasabi

Directions

• Wash the rice well and drain the water.
• Cook sushi rice with 2 1/2 cups of water in a rice cooker.
• After the rice is cooked, add rice vinegar, salt and sugar. Mix well with a rice paddle.
• Form the rice into ovals (use saran wrap to prevent sticking) after the rice has cooled down.
• Add a dab of wasabi to each rice ball and top it off with boiled shrimp.
