How to Make Futomaki Big Sushi Roll

  1. Prepare your sushi rice: Rinse 2 cups sushi rice until the water runs clear. Combine rice with 2 cups water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
  2. Season the rice: Gently fold in 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 tablespoon salt into the cooked rice. Allow to cool slightly.
  3. Prepare your fillings: Finely chop 1 cup cooked carrots, 1 cup avocado (sliced), 1/2 cup cucumber (julienned), 1/2 cup cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), and 1/2 cup imitation crab meat. You can also add other ingredients like cooked shiitake mushrooms, pickled ginger, or your favourite veggies!
  4. Assemble the roll: Lay a sheet of nori (approx 8x8 inches) shiny-side down on a bamboo sushi rolling mat. Spread a thin and even layer of sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
  5. Add the fillings: Place your prepared fillings in a line across the center of the rice.
  6. Roll the sushi: Using the bamboo mat, tightly roll the nori around the fillings, tucking in the sides as you go.
  7. Secure the roll: Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll.
  8. Slice and serve: Using a sharp knife dipped in water, slice the roll into 8-10 equal pieces. Serve immediately with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
