Sushi Rice

For Serving

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch for a better texture.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop according to package instructions. Typically, use a 1:1.2 ratio of rice to water.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    Once cooked, let the rice cool slightly. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until dissolved, then fold into the rice gently.

Prepare Fillings

  1. 4

    Prepare Cucumber

    Slice the cucumber into thin, long strips.

  2. 5

    Prepare Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it into thin strips.

  3. 6

    Prepare Kani

    Shred the kani into thin pieces.

  4. 7

    Prepare Fish

    Slice the salmon and tuna into thin strips.

Assemble Sushi Roll

  1. 8

    Prepare Sushi Mat

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and cover it with plastic wrap.

  2. 9

    Spread Rice

    With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori (seaweed) on the sushi mat.

  3. 10

    Add Fillings

    Arrange the kani, cucumber, avocado, salmon, and tuna in a line across the center of the rice-covered nori.

  4. 11

    Roll Sushi

    Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to shape the roll.

  5. 12

    Slice Sushi Roll

    Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean slices.

Serve

  1. 13

    Serving Suggestions

    Arrange the sliced sushi on a plate, drizzle eel sauce over the top, and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
