   1      pound         short-grain rice
   2      tablespoons   mirin -- (sweet sake)
     1/4  cup           rice vinegar
   2      tablespoons   sugar
   2      teaspoons     salt
  24      large         shrimp -- cooked
   2      teaspoons     wasabi powder
   1      sheet         nori

Preparation:

Wash rice; drain 30 minutes; cook. Heat mirin, vinegar, sugar, salt, until boiling. Cool. Remove rice from heat and leave 10 minutes. Turn into large shallow dish; pour vinegar dressing over. Mix gently until rice is at room temp. Shape sushi into neat ovals. Peel shrimp leaving tails. Split down the underside-not all the way through-and flatten. Mix wasabi. Dab small amount onto rice ovals; top with shrimp. Wrap a thin strip of nori around each sushi. Makes 24.
