Method

Sushi Rice Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooked rice gently to combine. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Cucumber Salad Preparation

  1. 4

    Slice the Cucumber

    Thinly slice the cucumber and place it in a bowl.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  3. 6

    Combine

    Pour the dressing over the sliced cucumber and toss to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.

Seaweed Salad Preparation

  1. 7

    Rehydrate the Seaweed

    Soak the dried seaweed in water for about 10 minutes until it softens. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  2. 8

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar.

  3. 9

    Combine

    Toss the rehydrated seaweed with the dressing until well coated.
