Sushi Deluxe Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm rice. Allow to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare the Fillings

   Julienne the cucumber and avocado, and shred the imitation crab meat into strips.

4. 4

   Roll the Sushi

   Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a nori sheet, shiny side down, on the mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

5. 5

   Add Fillings

   Place a line of cucumber, avocado, and crab meat across the center of the rice.

6. 6

   Roll It Up

   Using the mat, carefully lift the edge of the mat closest to you and roll it away from you, pressing gently but firmly to create a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

7. 7

   Slice the Sushi

   Using a sharp, wet knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

8. 8

   Serve

   Arrange the sushi pieces on a plate and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
