Method

Preparing Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the rice gently, using a wooden spatula.

  4. 4

    Cool the Rice

    Spread the rice onto a large plate or tray to cool to room temperature, about 15-20 minutes.

Preparing Shrimp

  1. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add shrimp, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until shrimp are pink and opaque.

  2. 6

    Cool the Shrimp

    Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and let them cool slightly before using.

Rolling the Sushi

  1. 7

    Prepare the Nori

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.

  2. 8

    Add the Sushi Rice

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

  3. 9

    Layer the Fillings

    Place a few pieces of cooked shrimp, avocado slices, and cucumber slices in a line across the middle of the rice.

  4. 10

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 11

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and filling.

Serving

  1. 12

    Plate the Rolls

    Arrange the sliced rolls on a serving platter. Serve with soy sauce and wasabi on the side.
