Sushi Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then pour over the rice. Gently fold the mixture into the rice and let it cool.

Assemble the Sushi Box
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean surface. Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking, and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top. Add a few strips of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and your choice of protein (shrimp or crab) in the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep it tight. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.

Serve
Arrange the sushi pieces in a box or plate. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
