Preparation Steps
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 to a bowl and mix with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Allow to cool.
Assemble the Hosomaki
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place your chosen filling (cucumber, avocado, tuna, salmon, or shrimp) in a line across the rice.
Roll the Sushi
Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
Slice the Hosomaki
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Clean the knife between cuts to ensure clean edges.
Serve
Arrange the hosomaki on a plate and serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi if desired.
