Sushi Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and mix in rice vinegar. Allow to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Fillings

    Julienne the cucumber, avocado, and carrot. Set aside. If using crab meat, shred or slice it as needed.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Sushi Rolls

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange the fillings of your choice (cucumber, avocado, carrot, crab) in a line across the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Rolling the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly. Roll until you reach the exposed nori edge. Moisten the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

  5. 5

    Slice the Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts to maintain clean edges.

  6. 6

    Serving

    Arrange the sushi rolls on a platter and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
