sushi

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • Sushi Rice

  • Bamboo Roller

  • Seaweed (Nori) Sheets

  • Plastic Wrap

  • Rice Vinegar

  • Salt + Sugar (just a pinch)

  • Sesame Seeds

  • Whatever ingredients you want – My go to is avocado and mango but that’s just because I haven’t tried raw fish yet.

How to make it:

  • First you have to cook the rice. You probably want to do this about an hour before assembling and eating.

  • Wash your rice and then let it soak in water for 25-30 mins. 1 cup rice: 1/2 cup water.

  • After soaking, bring rice to a boil, after it’s boiling, reduce to simmer and cover for 20 mins. After 20 mins turn heat off and let steam in covered pot for 10 mins.

  • After it’s done cooking, pour in half a cap full of rice vinegar and a pinch of salt and sugar into the rice and mix. Let the rice sit out in a container for ab 15 mins to cool to warm, not hot, not cool.

  • While the rice is cooling, slice/prep your ingredients into skinny slices.

  • Wrap your bamboo roller in plastic wrap, all the way around.

  • Lay your nori rough side up on the bottom of the bamboo roller.

  • Wet your hands and spread the rice on the nori creating a thin layer of rice.

  • Sprinkle your sesame seeds.

  • Carefully lift nori sheet with rice and flip it rice side down on the roller.

  • Line bottom of nori with ingredients .

  • Begin rolling the rice up with the roller tightly, rolling back the saran wrap and bamboo each time so it doesn’t get rolled up in your roll.

  • Once it is all rolled up, we wrap the top of it with saran wrap.

  • Then wet a large sharp knife with cool water, slice your rolls, wetting the knife each time.

  • Take plastic wrap off and then, hopefully, you have sushi.
