Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sushi rice
- 1.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 sheets Nori sheets
- 6 ounces Fresh salmon or tuna
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
- 3 tablespoons Tobiko (fish roe)
- 2 tablespoons Pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine with 1.25 cups of water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you're using a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 18 minutes. Let sit covered for 10 minutes.
While rice is cooking, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar and salt are dissolved. Fold this mixture into the cooked rice, using a spatula. Spread the rice on a wide plate to cool.
Peel the cucumber, then julienne into thin strips. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and slice thinly.
Slice the fresh salmon or tuna into long strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay a sheet of nori on the mat, shiny side down.
With wet hands, evenly spread about 1/3 of the prepared rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of nori uncovered on the top edge.
Arrange a few strips of fish, cucumber, and avocado horizontally across the center of the rice, and add a small dab of wasabi, if desired.
Using the bamboo mat, lift the edge of the nori closest to you and carefully roll it over the filling to start a roll. Apply slight pressure to secure the roll, continue rolling until a tight cylinder forms.
Repeat this process with the remaining nori sheets and filling.
With a sharp, wet knife, cut each roll into 6 even pieces.
Top each piece with a small spoonful of tobiko for added flavor and texture.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce and pickled ginger on the side. Enjoy your homemade sushi!
