Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
Rinse Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
Cook Rice
In a rice cooker or saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Season Rice
Once cooked, transfer rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the warm rice gently without smashing the grains. Allow to cool slightly.
Prepare Filling
Assemble Sushi
Lay Nori
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
Spread Rice
Wet your hands and grab a handful of sushi rice. Evenly spread it over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
Roll Sushi
Using the mat, roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep it tight.
Seal and Cut
Seal the edge of the roll with a little water. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
