Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 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
Cook the Rice
In a rice cooker or saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold it in with a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
Preparing the Filling
- 4
Prepare the Ahi Tuna
Cut the sashimi-grade Ahi tuna into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.
- 5
Assembling the Hosomaki
- 6
Prepare the Rolling Mat
Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on top of it.
- 7
Spread the Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.
- 8
- 9
Roll the Sushi
Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and roll it away from you, pressing gently but firmly to shape the roll. Continue rolling until the nori is sealed with a bit of water.
- 10
Slice the Roll
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to keep it clean.
Serving
