Ingredients

  • 100 g sushi rice
  • 1 sheet nori
  • 2 tbsp vinegar
  • soy sauce
  • wasabi
  • ginger
  • sesame seeds optional

Recommended Fillings:

  • raw tuna
  • raw salmon
  • Avocado
  • Cucumber
  • Crab sticks
  • Canned tuna mixed with mayo
  • Prawns

Instructions

  • Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook the rice according to the package instructions.
  • While the rice is cooking, prepare your filling ingredients. Slice the tuna and salmon into thin strips. Cut the avocado into thin slices. Peel and slice the cucumber into thin sticks.
  • Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and add the sushi vinegar. Mix gently until the vinegar is fully incorporated into the rice.
  • Lay the nori sheet on a sushi mat, shiny side down. With wet hands, spread the sushi rice evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 1cm gap at the top edge.
  • Arrange the filling ingredients in a line along the bottom edge of the rice, making sure to distribute them evenly.
  • Lift the edge of the sushi mat closest to you, and use it to roll the sushi tightly away from you. Apply gentle pressure as you roll to ensure the sushi stays firm.
  • Once the sushi is rolled, use a sharp knife to slice it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Serve the sushi with soy sauce, wasabi, sushi ginger and roasted white sesame seeds (optional).
  • Enjoy your homemade Maki Sushi Rolls!
