Preparing Sushi Rice
1. Rinse the Rice
Place the Japanese short-grain 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 rice and 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
3. Season the Rice
Remove the rice from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the rice with a spatula.
Preparing Mackerel
4. Marinate the Mackerel
In a shallow dish, combine the mackerel fillets with soy sauce, making sure they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Assembling the Sushi
6. Lay Out the Nori
Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
7. Spread the Rice
Wet your hands to prevent sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
8. Add Fillings
Place a few slices of marinated mackerel, cucumber, and avocado in a line across the center of the rice.
9. Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, pressing gently to keep it tight. Seal the edge with a little water.
10. Slice the Rolls
With a sharp knife, slice the sushi roll into 6-8 pieces, wiping the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
11. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and serve with wasabi paste and pickled ginger on the side.
