Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook it according to your rice cooker instructions or in a pot with the appropriate water-to-rice ratio. Once cooked, allow it to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked sushi rice using a wooden spatula, being careful not to mash the rice.

  3. 3

    Prepare Fillings

    Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips. Cut the fresh fish into sashimi slices, if not already done.

  4. 4

    Assemble Sushi Rolls

    On a bamboo sushi mat, place a nori sheet shiny side down. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Layer the avocado, cucumber, and fish on top of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled sushi into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the sushi on a platter. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
