Equipment
Method
- Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Combine the rinsed rice and water in a rice cooker or pot. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions or bring to a boil and simmer covered for about 20 minutes.
- While the rice is cooking, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until dissolved.
- Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and let it cool slightly.
- Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the warm rice with a wooden spatula.
- Lay a sheet of nori shiny side down on a sushi mat. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving about an inch at the top edge.
- Place your desired fillings—slices of fish, cucumber, and avocado—across the rice.
- Using the mat, roll the sushi tightly away from you, applying gentle pressure. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice into bite-sized pieces.
Notes
Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for a complete experience.
