  2. 2 Combine ground pork, green onions, chives, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Season with 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 4 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons gochugaru, sesame oil, and black pepper; mix using two forks until just combined. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. 3 Whisk vinegar, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon gochugaru into chicken broth in a bowl; set aside.
  4. 4 Divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll 1 piece into a rope about the thickness of your thumb; flatten into a long, thin band about 3 inches wide using a rolling pin, flouring only as needed. Dust top with flour; flip over. Dip your fingers in some water and lightly brush the surface until slightly sticky.
  5. 5 Arrange about ¼ pork filling down middle of dough about the thickness of your thumb using moistened fingers. Fold entire length of dough over pork filling, pressing down to seal dough. Trim excess dough if desired. Dust a little more flour on top; flip over so seam side is on the bottom. Divide into 16 pieces using the edge of your hand; cut with a bench scraper. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

  1. 1 Place rice in a strainer and rinse under cold water until run-off turns from cloudy to completely clear, about 2 minutes. Place strainer over a bowl and let drain until almost dry, about 1 hour. Transfer to a heavy bottom saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. 2 Pour water over rice. Place pot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer without stirring. As soon as little bubbles appear on the surface and rice starts to simmer, reduce heat to low and cover pan. Cook for exactly 10 minutes. Remove from heat; lift lid for 1 second and cover again immediately. Let sit another 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Transfer rice to a rimmed sheet pan and spread out with a fork, fanning (with a magazine or similar object) to start to cool it. Sprinkle about half the rice vinegar on the rice while gently tossing it. Continue fanning to bring rice to just over room temperature. Sprinkle the rest of rice vinegar over the rice and toss with fork to blend evenly. A small amount of rice should be easily formed into an oblong sushi base, but easily crumble when cut with a fork.
