Instructions

1

Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2

Cook the rice with water in a rice cooker or pot. Once cooked, let it sit covered for 10 minutes.

3

Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Gently fold this mixture into the cooked rice while fanning to cool it.

4

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.

5

Arrange slices of fish, avocado, and cucumber in a line near the bottom edge of the nori.

6

Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, pressing gently. Wet the border to seal the roll.

7

Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces with a sharp, wet knife. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.

Chef's Tips

  • Rice Consistency: The rice should be sticky but not mushy. Proper rinsing and vinegar seasoning are key.
  • Fresh Fish: Always use sushi-grade fish for safety and best flavor.
  • Sharp Knife: A sharp, wet knife ensures clean cuts without squishing the roll.
  • Variations: Try adding crab sticks, tempura shrimp, or cream cheese for different flavors.
  • Storage: Sushi is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for a few hours if needed.
