Sushi Rice

Roll Fillings

Sauces

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Combine the rinsed sushi rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to rice cooker instructions or bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Rice

    In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and sesame oil. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Once the rice is cooked, pour the mixture over the rice and fold gently to combine. Allow to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Fillings

  1. 4

    Prepare the Vegetables

    Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut into thin slices. Slice the cucumber into thin strips. Chop the scallions finely.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Seafood

    If not pre-prepared, slice the sushi-grade tuna and salmon into thin strips.

Assemble the Rolls

  1. 6

    Lay Out the Ingredients

    Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface, and lay a sheet of nori (seaweed) on the mat, shiny side down.

  2. 7

    Spread the Rice

    Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

  3. 8

    Add Fillings

    In the center of the rice, layer snow crab, avocado, cucumber, scallions, and then top with strips of tuna and salmon.

  4. 9

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi tightly from the bottom, tucking in the fillings as you go. Roll until you reach the bare edge of the nori. Wet the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

  5. 10

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a wet cloth between cuts for clean edges.

Serve

  1. 11

    Plate the Rolls

    Arrange the sushi rolls on a platter. Drizzle with wasabi mayo and spicy mayo, and top with yuzu tobiko.

  2. 12

    Enjoy

    Serve with additional wasabi and soy sauce on the side for dipping.
