Maki Roll Ingredients
Method
Preparation Directions
- 1
Prepare the Sushi Rice
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly.
- 2
Season the Rice
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Fold this mixture into the warm sushi rice gently with a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

Assemble the Maki Roll
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a flat surface. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch at the top edge.

Add Fillings
Arrange the julienned vegetables in a line across the center of the rice-covered nori.
- 6
Roll the Sushi
Using the mat, carefully roll the nori away from you, pressing gently but firmly to keep the roll tight. Roll until the edge of the nori is reached, using a little water to seal the edge.

Slice and Serve
With a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce on the side for dipping.
