Ingredients
- Sushi rice
- Nori sheets (seaweed)
- Fresh fish or cooked seafood (such as tuna, salmon, shrimp, or crab)
- Vegetables (such as cucumber, avocado, or carrot)
- Soy sauce
- Wasabi (optional)
- Pickled ginger (optional)
Directions
- Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes. Once cooked, let it cool to room temperature.
- Prepare your ingredients by slicing the fish or seafood into thin strips and cutting the vegetables into matchstick-sized pieces.
- Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and put a sheet of nori on top of it.
- Moisten your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and spread it evenly over the nori, leaving about a 1-inch border at the top.
- Arrange your desired fillings (fish/seafood and vegetables) in a line across the rice, slightly off-center.
- Starting from the edge closest to you, roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat. Apply gentle pressure to ensure a compact roll.
- Once the roll is complete, wet a sharp knife and slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean between each cut for neat slices.
- Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make more sushi rolls.
- Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side. Dip the sushi pieces in soy sauce and enjoy!
Note: You can get creative with your sushi fillings. Feel free to experiment with different combinations of fish, seafood, and vegetables to suit your taste preferences.
