Sushi Rice Preparation

Begin with preparing sushi rice, ensuring it achieves the perfect balance of stickiness and flavor by combining cooked rice with a mix of vinegar, sugar, and salt. Ensure the rice cools to room temperature before using.

Selection of Fillings

Choose high-quality, fresh ingredients for your fillings. Common selections include raw fish like salmon and tuna, creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and imitation crab. For a richer flavor, consider adding cream cheese. Make sure all fillings are sliced thinly and prepped for rolling.

Rolling the Sushi

Lay out a sheet of Nori on a bamboo rolling mat. Evenly spread the sushi rice on the Nori, leaving space at the edges. Add your chosen fillings in a line down the center. Roll the bamboo mat over the ingredients, pressing lightly to form a tight roll. Slice into pieces with a sharp, wet knife for a clean cut.

Serving

Arrange the sliced sushi on a platter. Garnish with sesame seeds, a touch of mayonnaise or other sauces for additional flavor, and optionally top with roe for an extra burst of taste and texture. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the side for an authentic experience.
