Step 1
Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook with 1.25 cups water in a rice cooker or pot.
Step 2
While rice cooks, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved.
Step 3
When rice is done, transfer to a bowl. Fold in vinegar mixture while fanning rice to cool. Let rest until room temperature.
Step 4
Cut nori sheet into 1-inch wide strips. Set aside.
Step 5
Wet your hands with water. Shape about 2 tablespoons of rice into a small oval mound.
Step 6
Place a piece of uni on top of the rice, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 7
Wrap a nori strip around the middle of the nigiri, overlapping ends. Serve immediately.
Step 8
Optional: brush with soy sauce or add a dab of wasabi if you have them.
