Ingredients

• 1 cup Sushi rice
• 1.25 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 sheets Nori sheets
• 200 grams Fresh tuna or salmon fillet
• 1 Cucumber
• 1 Avocado
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Wasabi paste
• 1 tablespoon Pickled ginger

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the sushi rice in a fine mesh sieve under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

Add the rinsed rice and 1.25 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Cover the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes until the water is absorbed.

Step 4

Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl and gently fold in the vinegar mixture until the rice is well coated. Let the rice cool to room temperature.

Step 6

While the rice cools, prepare the filling. Slice the tuna or salmon fillet into thin strips. Peel and cut the cucumber and avocado into matchstick-sized pieces.

Step 7

Place a nori sheet, shiny side down, on a bamboo sushi mat covered with plastic wrap.

Step 8

With dampened fingers, spread a thin layer of cooled sushi rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top edge.

Step 9

Arrange a few strips of fish, cucumber, and avocado along the bottom third of the rice.

Step 10

Using the sushi mat, carefully lift the edge of the nori closest to you and roll it over the filling, pressing gently. Continue rolling to form a tight cylinder. Moisten the top border with a little water to seal the roll.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining nori sheets and fillings.

Step 12

Use a sharp knife to slice each roll into equal sized pieces.

Step 13

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