Method
Preparing Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
Combine the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Let it sit covered for 10 minutes after cooking.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooked rice gently. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
Assembling the Sushi Roll
- 4
Prepare the Nori
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface and lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down.
- 5
Add Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking, then spread about 1/4 of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.

Roll It Up
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to form a tight cylinder. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

Repeat
Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients to make additional rolls.
Frying the Rolls

Prepare Batter
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Slowly add ice water, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter.

Heat Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Batter and Fry Rolls
Dunk each sushi roll in the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
