Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- 2
Cook Rice
In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 1.5 cups of water. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
- 3
Season Rice
Once cooked, remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the rice to a large bowl and mix in the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while the rice is still warm. Use a wooden spoon to fold the rice gently without crushing the grains.
Prepare Hosomaki Filling
- 4
Cut Daikon
Peel the daikon radish and cut it into thin, long strips, about 1/4 inch thick. These strips will serve as the filling for the hosomaki.
Assemble Hosomaki
- 5
Prepare Nori
Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
- 6
Add Sushi Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and take a handful of sushi rice (about 1/2 cup). Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.
- 7
Add Filling
Place a few strips of daikon radish across the center of the rice-covered nori. Add a small amount of wasabi if desired.
- 8
Roll Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Continue rolling until you reach the bare edge of the nori.
- 9
Seal and Slice
Moisten the edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 6 equal pieces. Wipe the knife between cuts for clean slices.
