Recipe Name: Classic Sushi Rolls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Nori seaweed sheets
- Assorted fillings (such as cooked shrimp, avocado, cucumber, and imitation crab)
Step by Step Guide:
1. Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a rice cooker and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from heat and let it cool.
3. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until well combined. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
4. Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands with water and spread a thin layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top.
5. Arrange your desired fillings in a line across the center of the rice.
6. Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, using gentle pressure to shape it into a cylinder.
7. Wet a sharp knife and slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces.
8. Serve the sushi rolls with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.
Enjoy your homemade sushi rolls!
