Ingredients

  • 4 cups sushi rice
  • 1/2 cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 10 nori seaweed sheets
  • Assorted sushi fillings (such as raw fish, cooked shrimp, avocado, cucumber, carrot, and cream cheese)
  • Soy sauce for dipping
  • Wasabi and pickled ginger for serving

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.
  2. Cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, transfer the rice to a large wooden or glass bowl.
  3. While the rice is still hot, pour the vinegar mixture over the rice. Use a wooden spatula to gently fold the vinegar into the rice, being careful not to smash the grains.
  4. Allow the rice to cool to room temperature, gently stirring occasionally to ensure even cooling.
  5. Prepare a clean and damp kitchen towel to keep your hands moist while working with the sushi rice.
  6. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat with the rough side facing up.
  7. Dampen your hands with water and grab a handful of sushi rice. Spread the rice evenly on the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
  8. Place your desired fillings in a row on top of the rice, slightly closer to the bottom edge.
  9. Using the bamboo sushi mat as a guide, tightly roll the sushi from the bottom edge, applying gentle pressure to ensure a firm roll.
  10. Moisten the top border of the nori with water to seal the roll.
  11. Repeat the process with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.
  12. Once you have rolled all the sushi, use a sharp knife to slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
  13. Serve the sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for dipping and garnishing.
