Season the Rice
Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large bowl. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold the mixture into the rice with a wooden spoon and let it cool to room temperature.

Roll the Sushi
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you while pressing gently to shape the sushi. Roll it tightly until you reach the border. Moisten the border with a little water to seal.

Slice and Serve
