🍳 How to cook (serves 1-2):

Preperation Time: 45 minutes

Sushi preparation is an art form that requires skill, patience, and precision. Key to this process are several cooking methods: - **Rice Preparation**: Start with sushi-grade rice, rinsing it under cold water until clear, then cooking it. Season the cooked rice with a blend of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt for that signature sushi rice taste. - **Nori Preparation**: Sheets of nori (dried seaweed) serve as both wrapper and flavor enhancer. Ensure they're crisp and ready to use. - **Fish/Seafood Processing**: Depending on the selection, seafood may be sliced into thin pieces for sashimi or prepared in a tempura-style for those preferring a cooked option. Ensure seafood is fresh and handled safely. - **Assembly**: Skillful hands are needed to layer rice, nori, and fillings, rolling them tightly into the classic sushi roll form. Some may be topped with additional ingredients like sesame seeds or roe for extra flavor and texture. - **Saucing**: A final touch involves drizzling or dotting the sushi with various sauces or mayonnaise to enhance the overall flavor. Each sushi piece is carefully crafted, ensuring a balance between the ingredients' natural flavors and the added sauces or toppings.
