Homemade Sushi Rolls Delicious and Fresh Homemade Sushi Rolls with Assorted Fillings Ingredients: 2 cups sushi rice 2 1/2 cups water 1/3 cup rice vinegar 2 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 10 sheets nori (seaweed) 1/2 pound fresh sushi-grade raw fish (salmon, tuna, or preferred) thinly sliced 1 cucumber, julienned 1 avocado, sliced 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional) Soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi for serving Directions: Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a rice cooker or pot and cook according to package instructions. In a small saucepan, heat rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour the mixture over cooked rice and gently fold to combine. Let cool to room temperature. Place a bamboo sushi mat on a clean surface and lay one sheet of nori on top. With wet hands, spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge. Arrange your choice of fillings (fish, cucumber, avocado, and a drizzle of mayonnaise if using) in a line along the bottom edge of the rice. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom to the top, pressing gently to form a firm roll. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 6-8 pieces. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
