Preparing the Sushi Rice

Cook sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, season it with sushi vinegar, then let it cool to room temperature.

Preparing the Fillings

Cut your choice of fillings - raw fish, vegetables, cream cheese, and mayonnaise - into thin strips that will easily fit into your rolls.

Assembling the Sushi Rolls

Place a nori sheet on a bamboo rolling mat. Spread a thin layer of prepared sushi rice onto the nori, leaving a small margin at the top. Lay your chosen fillings in a line at the bottom of the rice-covered nori. Carefully roll the sushi using the bamboo mat, pressing slightly to ensure it stays compact. Use a sharp, wet knife to cut the roll into bite-size pieces.

Serving

Arrange the sushi rolls on a plate and serve with soy sauce for dipping. Enjoy your homemade sushi rolls fresh for the best taste.
