Sushi Nigiri

'Nigiri' means "pressed in hand," which is how these tasty sushi morsels are prepared. The small blocks of rice can be topped with almost anything: tuna, salmon, tamago omelette, tiger prawns. Once you figure out the basic technique for shaping the rice, let your imagination run free. You can create your own Sushi Nigiri with some of your favourite ingredients. This recipe for Seared Beef and Scallop Nigiri isn't traditional; however, it plays nicely off the western surf and turf theme, and, more importantly, is simple and very tasty.
