Sushi Rice

Fish and Fillings

Condiments and Garnishes

Method

Preparing Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a fine-mesh sieve, rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed sushi rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Preparing Fillings

  1. 4

    Slice the Fish

    Using a sharp knife, slice the fresh salmon and tuna into thin strips suitable for sushi.

  2. 5

    Prepare Vegetables

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin pieces. Julienne the cucumber into thin matchsticks.

  3. 6

    Prepare the Cream Cheese

    Cut the cream cheese into thin strips or small squares for easy rolling.

Assembling Sushi Rolls

  1. 7

    Lay out Nori

    Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat.

  2. 8

    Spread the Rice

    With wet hands, take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.

  3. 9

    Add Fillings

    Place strips of salmon, tuna, avocado, cucumber, and cream cheese on the rice.

  4. 10

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori away from you while applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  5. 11

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for cleaner slices.

Serving the Sushi

  1. 12

    Arrange on Platter

    Place the sliced sushi rolls on a serving platter. You can arrange them in an artistic pattern.

  2. 13

    Add Condiments

    Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the sushi for garnish.
