Preparation of Sushi Rice

Begin by rinsing short-grain sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice for about 30 minutes before cooking it with water and a pinch of salt. Once cooked, season the rice with sushi vinegar to get that glossy, flavorful sushi rice that's the base of all sushi.

Assembling the Sushi Platter

Lay out nori sheets, spread a thin layer of sushi rice on each, and add your choice of fillings such as raw fish, crab stick, avocado, or cucumber. For nigiri, form small balls of rice and top with a slice of raw fish. Roll the sushi rolls tightly, slice them into bite-sized pieces, and artfully arrange on the platter along with sashimi slices. Garnish with sesame seeds, cucumber slices, or fish roe for additional flavor and presentation.
