Sushi Rolls

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to package instructions, then season with sushi vinegar and let it cool to room temperature.

2. 2

   Prepare the fillings by slicing the fresh salmon or tuna, avocado, and cucumber into long, thin strips.

3. 3

   Place a nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat with the shiny side facing down. Wet your hands and spread about 1/2 cup of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top.

4. 4

   Arrange the strips of salmon or tuna, avocado, and cucumber horizontally across the rice, about one-third of the way up from the bottom of the nori.

5. 5

   Begin rolling the sushi tightly from the bottom using the bamboo mat to help shape the roll. When you reach the end, wet the exposed strip of nori to seal the roll.

6. 6

   Use a sharp, wet knife to slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Clean the knife with a wet cloth between cuts to prevent sticking.

7. 7

   Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger on the side.
