Ingredients

  • 2 cups Sushi rice (short-grain)
  • 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 5 sheets Nori (seaweed sheets)
  • 0.5 lb Sushi-grade salmon or tuna
  • 1 medium Cucumber (julienned)
  • 1 large Avocado (sliced)
  • 0.25 cup Soy sauce(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Wasabi paste(optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cook according to package instructions.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved; fold this mixture into the cooked rice while it is still warm.

  3. 3

    Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on a bamboo rolling mat (makisu).

  4. 4

    Spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving about one inch of the top edge bare.

  5. 5

    Arrange your fish, cucumber, and avocado in a horizontal line across the center of the rice.

  6. 6

    Using the bamboo mat, lift the bottom edge of the nori and roll it tightly over the fillings.

  7. 7

    Wet the top bare edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll completely.

  8. 8

    Use a very sharp, damp knife to slice each roll into 6 to 8 bite-sized pieces.
