Equipment

  • Bamboo sushi rolling mat
  • Sharp Knife
  • Rice cooker optional
  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 sheets nori seaweed
  • 4 oz sashimi-grade tuna thinly sliced
  • 4 oz sashimi-grade salmon thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cucumber julienned
  • Soy sauce for dipping
  • Pickled ginger for garnish
  • Wasabi to taste

Instructions
 

  • Begin by rinsing the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Cook the rice in a rice cooker or pot with the 1 ¼ cups of water. Once cooked, let it cool slightly.
  • Mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl, then fold into the sushi rice gently until combined.
  • Lay a bamboo rolling mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top.
  • Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread an even layer of rice onto the nori, leaving about 1 cm at the top edge of the nori bare.
  • Place a line of tuna, salmon, avocado, and cucumber on the rice towards the bottom edge of the nori.
  • Lift the edge of the mat closest to you and roll it over the ingredients to enclose them.
  • Continue rolling, using the mat to firm up and shape the sushi roll.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into bite-sized pieces.
  • Serve with soy sauce for dipping, and garnish with pickled ginger and a small dollop of wasabi.
