Condiments

Method

Prepare Sushi Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse Rice

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

  2. 2

    Cook Rice

    Combine the rinsed sushi rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions, or bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes until the water is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Rest Rice

    Once cooked, let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.

  4. 4

    Season Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the rice and gently fold it in using a wooden spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Prepare Sushi Fillings

  1. 5

    Slice Fish

    Slice the fresh salmon and tuna fillets into thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide.

  2. 6

    Prepare Shrimp

    Boil or steam the shrimp until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Let cool and set aside.

  3. 7

    Prepare Vegetables

    Slice the avocado and julienne the cucumber into thin strips.

Assemble Sushi

  1. 8

    Spread Rice

    Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a handful of sushi rice. Spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top uncovered.

  2. 9

    Add Fillings

    In the center of the rice, place slices of salmon, tuna, shrimp, avocado, and cucumber.

  3. 10

    Roll Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep it compact. Seal the edge with a little water.

  4. 11

    Continue Rolling

    Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

  5. 12

    Slice Rolls

    Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled sushi into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick.

Serve Sushi

  1. 13

    Serve Platter

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