Best-Ever Homemade Sushi
Picture yourself on a culinary adventure to the heart of Japan with our Best-Ever Homemade Sushi recipe. Sushi lovers, this one’s for you! Whether you’re a seasoned sushi chef or a newbie in the kitchen, you can create restaurant-quality sushi right at home.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
- Assorted fillings (avocado, cucumber, cooked shrimp, etc.)
- Soy sauce, for dipping
- Pickled ginger and wasabi, for serving
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the sushi rice until the water runs clear. Cook it according to the package instructions and let it cool.
- While the rice is still warm, gently mix in the rice vinegar, making sure not to mash the grains. This will give your rice a delightful flavor and stickiness.
- Place a bamboo sushi rolling mat on a clean surface and cover it with plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of nori on the mat.
- Wet your hands to prevent sticking and spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly over the nori, leaving about half an inch of nori at the top.
- Add your choice of fillings in a row at the bottom third of the rice-covered nori.
- Roll the sushi tightly using the bamboo mat, applying gentle pressure as you go.
- With a sharp knife, wetted to prevent sticking, slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve your Best-Ever Homemade Sushi with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and wasabi. Enjoy!
