Kanpachi nigiri is a classic sushi dish that showcases the delicate flavor and texture of amberjack. To make this nigiri, you will need fresh kanpachi fillets, sushi rice, wasabi, and soy sauce. Start by preparing the sushi rice according to your preferred method. Once the rice is ready, shape it into small oblong shapes using wet hands. Slice the kanpachi fillets into thin, bite-sized pieces. Place a small amount of wasabi on top of each rice mound and gently press a slice of kanpachi on top. Serve the kanpachi nigiri with soy sauce on the side for dipping. The combination of the tender kanpachi, sticky sushi rice, spicy wasabi, and salty soy sauce creates a delightful explosion of flavors in each bite. Enjoy the nigiri as a standalone dish or as part of a sushi platter.
