Sushi

Ingredients:
  • sushi rice (cook with 1 part rice to about 1 1/3 part water) cooked
  • seasoning for sushi rice- multiply as needed
    • 5 T rice vinegar (can substitute regular vinegar don't use so much)
    • 2 T sugar
    • 1/2 t salt
  • fillings- everything cut into long matchsticks
    • raw tuna
    • carrots
    • cucumber
    • avocado
    • fake crab
    • fish cake
    • pickled daikon (takuwan)
    • etc.
    • soy sauce
    • sesame oil
  • dried seaweed sheets/nori
Directions:

Mix seasoning and rice together.
Lay seaweed sheet on the table. Spread a thin layer of rice out on about 1/3 of the sheet. Then put 1-3 fillings in the middle of the rice. If you want dribble soy sauce/sesame oil/etc over fillings. Fold the sheet over so that the rice touches itself (around the fillings) and then roll the rice and filling up into the sheet. Cut with a knife into 1 inch pieces (if you are having trouble cutting, let sushi stand for a minute and then use a serrated knife. rinse in water and wipe off knife between cuttings).
Serve with soysauce and wasabi (green horseradish sauce) and if you want to be fancy serve pickled ginger too.
