Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or pot according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then fold it into the cooked rice gently. Allow it to cool to room temperature.

Assemble Sushi
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 2 cm at the top edge. Place the squid pieces in a line across the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a little water.
