How to Make Sushi

Ingredients:

 Vegetables (cucumbers and carrots)

 Fish, shellfish, or other toppings
 Rice wine vinegar
 Rice
 Unsalted dried seaweed (nori)
 Sugar
 Salt

Optional condiments:

 Wasabi
 Pickled ginger
 Soy sauce

Steps:

1. Wash about 2 cups of sushi rice then rinse the rice repeatedly until the rice water
looks clear. Then fill the rice pot with new water and cook it.
2. Wash the vegetables and place them on a cutting board and cut them in half long
wise and then cut them into long skinny strips.
3. Cut the fish into little strips and make sure their length is pretty even.
4. Check on your rice. If it’s cooked, take it out and put it in a dish.
5. Take a bowl and pour in about two tablespoons of rice wine vinegar. You can add
more or less depends on your taste. Add sugar and salt into the bowl and stir it until
they dissolve.
6. Pour the mixture onto the rice and mix thoroughly.
7. Place the seaweed layer on a bamboo mat and then spread rice on top of it. It should
be spreaded out evenly. Dampen the edge of seaweed layer with a bit of water to
make it sticky. Place the strips of vegetables and fish into rice.
 8. Roll the bamboo into a long roll by first folding the bottom third in then roll it up. It
should look like a tube. Now remove the sushi role from the bamboo mat.
9. Cut down the middle of the roll, take each half and place them parallel to each other.
Repeat by cutting both halves down the middle simultaneously, take those protions
and repeat one last time. This cutting technique ensures that the ingredients don’t
spill out of the roll.
10. Serve and enjoy!
