Method
Prepare Sushi Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the sushi rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sushi rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes.
- 3
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the Fish
If using sushi-grade fish, slice it into thin strips. If using cream cheese, cut it into small rectangles.
Assemble the Rolls
- 6
Lay Out Nori
Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands to prevent sticking.
- 7
Add Sushi Rice
Take about a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
- 8
Add Fillings
In the center of the rice, place a few strips of cucumber, avocado, and fish. Optionally add cream cheese.
- 9
Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
- 10
Cut the Roll
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 8 equal pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts. Alternatively, for cone style, shape the roll into a cone.
Serve
