Sushi Regular Recipe

Sushi Preparation

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, transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and fold gently to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Make the California Roll

   Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Lay crab sticks, avocado slices, and cucumber strips in a line across the center of the rice.

4. 4

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water. Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.

5. 5

   Prepare Regular Sushi Pieces

   Using remaining rice and nori, create 6 additional sushi pieces by your preferred method (e.g., nigiri, maki) with various fillings such as fish, vegetables, or tofu.

6. 6

   Serve

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