Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 4 nori sheets
- Fresh fish (e.g., salmon, tuna)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cucumber
- Soy sauce
- Wasabi
- Pickled ginger
Instructions
- Cook the sushi rice: Rinse 2 cups of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, then let it cool slightly while preparing other ingredients. Add a tablespoon of rice vinegar for that signature sushi flavor.
- Prepare the nori: Lay a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the bamboo mat.
- Spread the rice: With wet hands, take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
- Layer the fillings: Place thin slices of fresh fish, avocado, and cucumber in a line across the center of the rice.
- Start rolling: Use the mat to gently roll the nori away from you, pressing it tightly as you go. Keep a steady hand and make sure the filling stays in place.
- Slice the sushi roll: With a sharp knife, slice the roll into bite-sized pieces. Use a wet knife to prevent sticking.
- Prepare sashimi: For sashimi, delicately slice fresh fish into thin pieces. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side for dipping.
