Sushi

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 cups sushi rice
• 2.5 cups water
• 1/3 cup rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 4 sheets nori sheets
• 8 oz fresh fish (like tuna or salmon)
• 1 cup vegetables (like cucumber or avocado)

Instructions

1. Prepare sushi rice by rinsing it under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and let the rice sit covered for 10 minutes.
4. Transfer rice to a large bowl and mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt while it's still warm.
5. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature.
6. Prepare fillings by slicing fresh vegetables and seafood into thin strips.
7. Lay a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat, shiny side down.
8. Wet your hands and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top.
9. Place your desired filling ingredients in a line across the center of the rice.
10. Using the mat, carefully roll the sushi away from you, applying gentle pressure to form a tight roll.
11. Seal the edge of the nori with a little water.
12. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.
13. Arrange sushi pieces on a platter and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
