Sushi Resipe

Here's a basic recipe for making sushi rolls (maki sushi):

Ingredients:

Sushi rice: 2 cups

Water: 2 cups (for cooking the rice)

Rice vinegar: 1/4 cup

Sugar: 2 tablespoons

Salt: 1 teaspoon

Nori (seaweed sheets): 4-6 sheets

Fillings:

Fresh fish (tuna, salmon, or crab sticks), sliced into thin strips (optional for non-vegetarians)

Vegetables like cucumber, avocado, and carrots, sliced into thin strips


Soy sauce: For dipping

Wasabi and pickled ginger: Optional, for serving


Equipment:

Bamboo sushi mat (covered in plastic wrap)

Sharp knife

Bowl of water with a bit of rice vinegar (to wet your hands)


Instructions:

1. Prepare the sushi rice:

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Cook the rice with 2 cups of water in a rice cooker or on the stove.

While the rice cooks, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar dissolves.

When the rice is done, transfer it to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Let it cool to room temperature.



2. Prepare the fillings:

Slice your choice of fish and vegetables into thin strips.



3. Rolling the sushi:

Place a sheet of nori, shiny side down, on the bamboo mat.

Wet your hands with the vinegar-water mixture and grab a handful of sushi rice.

Spread the rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top uncovered.

Lay your chosen fillings in a line across the center of the rice.

Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, starting from the bottom and pressing firmly as you go.

Use a bit of water on the uncovered edge of the nori to seal the roll.



4. Slice the rolls:

Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized pieces.



5. Serve:

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



Enjoy your homemade sushi!
