Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
Cooking the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to rice cooker instructions or on the stovetop until tender. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.
Seasoning the Rice
In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until sugar dissolves. Pour over the cooked rice and mix gently to combine. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Prepare Nigiri
Forming Nigiri
Wet your hands with water to prevent sticking. Take a small amount of sushi rice (about 1-2 tablespoons) and form it into an oval shape. Top each with a slice of your chosen fish or seafood.
Prepare California Roll
Rolling the Sushi
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Place crab meat, cucumber, and cream cheese in a line across the center. Roll tightly using the mat, sealing the edge with a little water. Slice into 8 equal pieces and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the nigiri and California rolls on a platter. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
