Sushi Roll Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Season the Rice

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold this mixture into the warm sushi rice and let it cool to room temperature.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Roll

    Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch from the top edge.

  4. 4

    Add Fillings

    Place 2 slices of Hamachi and a few pickled jalapenos in a line across the center of the rice. Sprinkle a small amount of bubu arare on top.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently to form a tight roll. Seal the edge with a little water.

  6. 6

    Slice the Roll

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces, cleaning the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve with Ponzu

    Arrange the sushi rolls on a platter and drizzle with ponzu sauce. Serve with extra pickled jalapenos on the side.
