Ingredients for Sushi & Sashimi

Method

Directions for Sushi & Sashimi

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

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

  2. 2

    Season the Sushi Rice

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

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fillings

    Thinly slice the cucumber and avocado. Slice the fresh tuna into thin sashimi pieces.

  4. 4

    Make the Sushi Roll

    Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place slices of cucumber, avocado, and tuna in a line across the rice. Using the mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 5

    Cut the Sushi Roll

    Using a sharp knife, cut the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

  6. 6

    Plate the Sashimi

    Arrange the sliced tuna sashimi on a plate. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the sushi rolls and sashimi together on a platter. Enjoy with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
