How to Make Sushi Rolls

  1. Cook 2 cups sushi rice according to package directions. Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until sugar dissolves.
  3. Gently fold the vinegar mixture into the cooked rice until evenly distributed. Let cool slightly.
  4. Prepare your rolling surface: a bamboo sushi rolling mat is ideal, but a clean kitchen towel works well too.
  5. Place a nori seaweed sheet (approx. 8x8 inches) on your rolling surface, shiny side down.
  6. Spread a thin, even layer of the sushi rice over the nori, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top edge.
  7. Arrange your chosen fillings in a line across the center of the rice.
  8. Using the rolling mat (or towel), gently lift the bottom edge of the nori over the filling.
  9. Continue rolling tightly, tucking in the filling as you go. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to help it seal.
  10. Once rolled, use a sharp, wet knife to slice the sushi roll into 1-1 1/2 inch pieces.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade sushi creations!
