- Place the sashimi on top of the rice and pat it down. Optional - You can add some wasabi between the rice and sashimi to give the aburi a bit of heat.

- Use a brush or back of a spoon to brush the sauce on to the sashimi. Optional - add mayo on top of the sashimi.
- Torch the aburi sushi with the food torch.
