Indulge in the art of sushi making with this elegant sushi delight. Perfectly seasoned rice combined with fresh salmon, creamy avocado, and crisp cucumber, rolled into delectable bites of flavor.

Ingredients: 2 cups sushi rice. 2 1/2 cups water. 1/2 cup rice vinegar. 2 tablespoons sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. 4 nori seaweed sheets. 1 cucumber, julienned. 1 avocado, thinly sliced. 8 ounces sushi-grade raw salmon, thinly sliced. Soy sauce, for serving. Pickled ginger, for serving. Wasabi, for serving.

Instructions: Rinse sushi rice in cold water until water runs clear. Drain well. In a saucepan, combine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer cooked rice to a large bowl. Gradually fold in the vinegar mixture until rice is seasoned. Allow rice to cool to room temperature. Place a nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Arrange cucumber, avocado, and salmon slices horizontally across the center of the rice. Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, sealing the edge with water. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice each sushi roll into 6-8 pieces using a sharp knife dipped in water. Serve sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi.

Make delicious and easy sushi rolls at home with this simple recipe. Customize your rolls with your favorite fillings for a personalized sushi experience!

Ingredients: 2 cups sushi rice. 2 1/2 cups water. 1/2 cup rice vinegar. 1/4 cup sugar. 1 teaspoon salt. Nori seaweed sheets. Assorted fillings e.g., cucumber, avocado, crab sticks, smoked salmon.

Instructions: Run cold water over the sushi rice until the water is clear. Put the rinsed rice and water into a rice cooker. Follow the directions that come with the rice cooker. Put rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan and mix them together. Turn the heat down low and stir until the sugar is gone. Wait for it to cool down. Put the cooked rice in a large bowl, and then slowly mix in the vinegar mixture until everything is well mixed. Wait until it's cool enough to touch. On a bamboo sushi mat, put a piece of nori. Cover the nori with a thin layer of rice, leaving about an inch of space at the top. Place the fillings you want in the middle of the rice in a horizontal line. Start rolling the sushi away from you from the bottom edge of the bamboo mat and roll it tight. Cut the sushi roll into small pieces with a sharp knife. Do it again with the rest of the rice, nori, and fillings. Put soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi on the sushi rolls before you serve them.
