Ingredients

25pieces

Sushi rice: 200 g (1 cup) sushi rice
Sushi rice: 350 ml (1 1/2 cups) cold water
Sushi rice: 30 ml (2 tbsp) rice vinegar
Sushi rice: 5 ml (1 tsp) sugar
Sushi rice: 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
A little neutral oil for the mould
6 slices cured ham (Serrano, Parma or country ham)
Soy sauce, to serve

Method

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then cook it with the cold water in the Tupperware Microwave Rice Maker for 12 to 13 minutes at 600 W. Leave to stand for 10 minutes, fold in the vinegar, sugar and salt mixed together, and let it cool to room temperature.
Brush the base and lid of the Tupperware Nigiri Party lightly with oil using the silicone brush.
Fill the base to the rim with rice using the slim silicone spatula, fit the lid and press down firmly.
Lift off the lid and turn out the rice shapes. Repeat until the rice is used up, to make about 25 nigiri.
Cut the ham into 25 thin pieces large enough to cover each nigiri and drape one over each rice pad.
