Assemble Classic Rolls
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Lay your fillings (fish, cucumber, avocado) in a line across the center of the rice.

Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to create a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a bit of water.

Cut the Rolls
Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat the process for remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Prepare Hand Rolls
For hand rolls, take a piece of nori and place a small amount of rice on one side. Add your desired fillings and roll it into a cone shape, sealing the edge with a bit of water.
