  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups sushi rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
  • 1 cucumber, julienned

  • 200g fresh tuna or salmon (alternatively, you can use cooked shrimp or crab sticks)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp wasabi

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sushi Rice:
    • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
    • Combine the rice with water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
    • Once cooked, let the rice cool slightly. In a microwave-safe bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt, then gently fold it into the cooked rice.
  • Assemble the Sushi:
    • Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
    • Spread a thin, even layer of the prepared sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 2cm border at the top.
    • Layer cucumber, avocado, and your choice of fresh tuna, salmon, cooked shrimp, or crab sticks over the rice.
  • Roll the Sushi:
    • Roll the nori tightly using the bamboo mat, applying pressure to secure the roll.
    • Moisten the border with a bit of water to seal the edges.
  • Slice and Serve:
    • Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.
    • Serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
