Sushi Ingredients

Optional Soup or Salad Ingredients

Method

Sushi Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions, typically using a rice cooker or stovetop method. Once cooked, 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 gently fold it in using a rice paddle. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Slice Fish

    While the rice is cooling, thinly slice the fresh tuna and salmon into sashimi pieces. Aim for even slices about 1/4 inch thick.

  4. 4

    Prepare Vegetables

    Julienne the cucumber and slice the avocado. Set aside for assembly.

  5. 5

    Assemble Sushi Rolls

    Place 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 a 1-inch border at the top. Lay slices of tuna, salmon, cucumber, and avocado on the rice. Carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure.

  6. 6

    Slice Sushi Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, slice the sushi rolls into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to ensure clean slices.

Optional Soup or Salad Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Miso Soup

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add miso paste and stir until dissolved. Add cubed tofu, wakame, and sliced green onions. Simmer for 5-10 minutes and serve hot.

  2. 8

    Prepare Salad

    In a bowl, combine mixed greens. Drizzle with sesame dressing and toss to combine. Serve fresh alongside sushi.
