Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 10 minutes.

Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture using a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Fish
Slice the assorted fish into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Ensure the fish is fresh and sushi-grade.

Assemble the Sushi
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and take a handful of sushi rice, spreading it evenly over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge. Place a few pieces of assorted fish in a line across the center of the rice. Using the mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, applying gentle pressure. Seal the edge with a little water.

Cut and Serve
Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled sushi into 6-8 pieces. Arrange on a platter and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
