Nori and Extras

Method

Preparing Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Transfer the rinsed rice to a rice cooker and add 1.25 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture while the rice is still warm. Allow it to cool.

Preparing Fillings

  1. 4

    Prepare Avocado

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

  2. 5

    Prepare Cucumber

    Peel the cucumber and cut it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and slice into thin strips.

  3. 6

    Prepare Carrot

    Peel the carrot and cut it into thin strips using a julienne peeler or a knife.

Assembling Maki

  1. 7

    Lay out Nori

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

  2. 8

    Spread Rice

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

  3. 9

    Add Fillings

    Place the avocado, cucumber, and carrot strips in a line across the center of the rice-covered nori.

  4. 10

    Roll the Maki

    Using the bamboo mat, gently lift the edge of the mat closest to you and begin to roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the exposed edge of the nori.

  5. 11

    Seal the Roll

    Wet the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into 6-8 pieces.

  6. 12

    Serve

    Arrange the sliced maki on a plate and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
