Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup sushi rice
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 ounces sushi-grade salmon or tuna
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 nori sheets
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons wasabi
- 4 tablespoons pickled ginger
Instructions
Rinse the sushi rice in water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Add the rinsed rice and 1.5 cups of water to a pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes.
Remove the pot from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved.
Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture with a spoon, ensuring the rice is evenly seasoned.
Let the vinegar-seasoned rice cool to room temperature.
Slice the sushi-grade salmon or tuna into thin strips.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice it into thin strips.
Lay a sushi mat on a flat surface and place a sheet of nori on top, shiny side down.
Spread about 1/4 of the sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving an inch of space at the top edge.
Arrange a few strips of fish and avocado across the middle of the rice.
Using the sushi mat, carefully roll the sushi, applying gentle pressure to keep it tight, sealing the edge with a little water.
Repeat with remaining ingredients to make four rolls.
Slice each roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water to prevent sticking.
Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
