Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Cook the Rice
Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Season the Rice
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice and let it cool.
Prepare Sushi Rolls
Assemble Sushi
Lay a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over it, leaving a small border. Add your desired fillings (fish, cucumber, avocado, cream cheese) in a line across the rice.
Roll the Sushi
Using the mat, roll the nori tightly over the fillings, applying gentle pressure. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
Slice and Serve
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
