Step-by-Step Instructions

    Prepare the Sushi Rice

    • Start by ensuring your rice is of top-notch quality. Follow these steps:
    • a. Wash the starch from the outside of the rice by rinsing it three or four times until the water goes clear.
    • b. Drain the rice and cook it with 660 milliliters of water for 10 minutes, then let it stand for an additional 10 minutes.

    Craft the Vinegar Mixture

    • Create a delightful vinegar mixture that will infuse the rice with flavor:
    • a. Mix one teaspoon of salt, two teaspoons of sugar, and four tablespoons of rice vinegar.
    • b. Add the vinegar mixture to the cooked rice and stir until it's well incorporated.

    Prepare the Fillings

    • Chop and prepare the following fillings for your sushi rolls:
    • Carrot
    • Cucumber
    • Spring onion
    • Skinless salmon
    • Smoked mackerel

    Assemble the Sushi Rolls

    • Now comes the exciting part – assembling your sushi rolls:
    • a. Dip your fingers in clean water and spread the sticky rice onto the rough side of a nori sheet, leaving a one-inch gap at the top.
    • b. Arrange the prepared ingredients down the center of the rice-covered nori sheet.
    • c. Roll the nori sheet tightly, applying pressure with your fingertips and a little bit on the top to hold it down.
    • d. Seal the roll by rolling it over the one-inch gap at the top of the nori sheet.

    Create the California Roll

    • For a twist, let's make a California roll:
    • a. Smear the rice all over the outside of the nori sheet.
    • b. Sprinkle the roll with sesame seeds.

    Slice and Serve

    • Slice the rolls with a wet, sharp knife into evenly shaped pieces.

    Accept the Unwanted Final Bits

    • Remember to enjoy the edges of the rolls, which are frequently missed. Unexpected bites can occasionally turn out to be very wonderful!
