Sushi Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 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, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved and fold into the rice. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice and form it into an oval shape. Top with a slice of fresh fish. Repeat for the remaining slices to make 8 pieces of nigiri.

Make the Basic Roll
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Place thin strips of cucumber and avocado in the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, using the mat to help. Seal the edge with a little water.
