Equipment

  • Cooking Torch Gun

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Japanese A5 Waygu (recommended) or any steak of your choice I tried this with A5 Waygu in a restaurant and it tastes like butter
  • 1 cup Japanese short-grain rice cooked to your liking
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Toppings

  • Chopped garlic
  • Chopped green Onion
  • Wasabi
  • Ponzu sauce to taste (I did like 1/4 teaspoon for each piece of nigiri)

Instructions
 

  • Combine cooked rice, vinegar, salt, and sugar together.
  • Shape the rice ( about 1 tablespoon each)
- wet your hands with water before shaping the rice to avoid rice sticking.
  • Thinly slice steak and seasoned with a little salt and peper. Place 1 slice of beef onto each rice ball
  • Use a cooking torch to quickly sear the steak in a heat-safe tray (I used a metal tray)
  • Top with ponzu sauce, chopped green onion, garlic and wasabi.
  • Enjoy with warm sake or drink of choice
