Tips for cooking

If you slice the salmon thinly, you can get a beautiful finished dish. If you sprinkle salt and marinate in vinegar, the smell of the salmon will disappear and it will have a nice salty and sour taste. Please use warm rice so that the sushi vinegar (vinegar used for sushi rice) will soak in easily.
