Sushi Rice Preparation

Rinse and Cook Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Season the Rice
Once cooked, remove the rice from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Stir this mixture into the cooked rice gently. Allow the rice to cool completely.

Assemble the Sushi Rolls
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking, and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top. Layer the sliced chicken, black beans, corn, bell pepper, avocado mixture along the rice. Carefully roll the sushi tightly from the bottom to the top, sealing the edge with a bit of water.
