How to make Simple Sushi Recipe

Cook the Rice

  1. Rinse the rice in water until the water runs clear.

  2. Add rice and water to a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool.

Season the Rice (Optional)

  1. In a bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sugar, and salt.

  2. Pour the mixture over the cooled rice and gently fold.

Prepare the Sushi Mat

  1. Place the bamboo mat (or a kitchen towel) flat on a surface and roll out some plastic wrap over it.

Assemble the Sushi Roll

  1. Place a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.

  2. Lay a thin even layer of rice on top of the nori, leaving about 1 inch (2 cm) along the top edge.

  3. Put some strips of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and crab sticks/salmon in the middle of the rice.

Roll the Sushi

  1. Using the mat, roll the sushi slowly away from you, applying firm pressure as you go.

  2. Wet the top edge of the nori with a bit of water to seal the roll.

Cut the Sushi

  1. Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife.

  2. Dip the knife in water to prevent sticking.

Serve

  1. Serve on a plate with soy sauce. Enjoy your homemade sushi!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Use a sharp knife to cut the sushi rolls to avoid squishing them.

  2. Keep a bowl of water nearby to dip your fingers in to prevent rice from sticking to your hands.
