Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Season the Rice
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved, then gently fold this mixture into the rice while it's still warm.

Assemble the Roll
Lay a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and grab a handful of sushi rice (about 1/2 cup). Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Roll the Sushi
Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and start rolling it away from you, tucking the filling tightly as you go. Roll until the nori edge meets the rice. Wet the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

Slice the Roll
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep it clean.
