Sushi Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare Sushi Rice

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer to a bowl and let it cool slightly.

2. 2

   Season the Rice

   In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the warm rice and gently fold it in with a spatula. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.

3. 3

   Prepare Fillings

   Thinly slice the cucumber, carrot, and avocado. If using fresh fish, ensure it is sliced into long strips.

4. 4

   Assemble the Sushi Rolls

   Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down. Wet your hands to prevent sticking and take a handful of sushi rice. Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Lay your chosen fillings in a line across the center of the rice.

5. 5

   Roll the Sushi

   Using the bamboo mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.

6. 6

   Slice and Serve

   Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
