Sushi Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare Sushi Rice

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, mix in rice vinegar and let it cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Prepare Fillings

    Slice the avocado and cucumber into thin strips. Prepare the crab meat if using real crab.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Roll

    On a bamboo sushi mat, lay out a sheet of nori, 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. Place a line of crab meat, avocado, and cucumber along the center of the rice.

  4. 4

    Add Fish Toppings

    Carefully layer slices of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, eel, and smoked salmon on top of the filling.

  5. 5

    Roll the Sushi

    Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight. Roll until the edge of the nori meets the rice, then wet the edge with water to seal the roll.

  6. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Drizzle kabayaki sauce over the top, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with soy sauce and wasabi.
