- 5 tablespoons sushi rice

- 1 teaspoon teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon wasabi (optional)
- Mix water and vinegar together in a small finger bowl.

- Cut an 8-inch square of plastic wrap.
- Put one of the fillets in the middle of the square.
- Place a rice ball on top of the fish fillet.
- Bring up the corners of the plastic wrap to enclose the bundle into a tight ball.
- Twist the edges tightly.
