Sushi Rolls

Steps

• 1

  Bring 1 and 1/2 cups of water (375 ml) to a boil in a medium sized saucepan. Add sushi rice, stir and cover. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the rice absorbs the water.
• 2

  In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, salt, pickled ginger and sugar. Blend this mixture into the sushi rice.
• 3

  Preheat oven to 300° F, 150° C, or Gas mark 2. Heat a nori sheet for 1 or 2 minutes in a baking tray, until warm.
• 4

  Feel both sides of the nori sheet and lay the rough side facing up on the bamboo sushi mat.
• 5

  Wet your hands and start spreading a thin layer of rice equally on the nori, covering the entire sheet.
• 6

  Now place a slice of your favorite seafood along with a fourth of the vegetable slices towards the edge of the nori sheet closest to you.
• 7

  Starting with the edge closest to you, gently yet tightly roll in the ingredients, making a complete roll.
• 8

  Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
• 9

  Use a sharp, wet knife to cut each roll into 4 to 6 small sushi rolls.
• 10

  Serve immediately with soy sauce and wasabi.
