Fresh Homemade Sushi Rolls
Ingredients
  • 1 1/3 cups water
  • 2/3 cup uncooked short-grain white rice
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 sheets nori seaweed sheets
  • 1/2 pound imitation crabmeat, flaked
  • 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled, cut into small strips
  • 2 tablespoons pickled ginger
Instructions
1
Collect all the necessary components for preparation. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
2
In a medium-sized cooking vessel, bring water to a rolling boil; then introduce the rice into the pot. Lower the heat to a medium-low setting, cover the container, and allow the rice to become tender while absorbing all the water, approximately 20-25 minutes.
3
Combine rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small dish. Using your hands, gently blend these ingredients into the cooked rice within the pot and set it aside for later use.
4
Place nori sheets on a baking sheet in preparation for the next step.
5
Bake the nori sheets in the preheated oven until they are warm, taking around 1-2 minutes.
6
Position a nori sheet in the center of a bamboo sushi mat. Using your hands that are slightly damp, spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the top sheet. Arrange 1/4 of the crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, and pickled ginger in a line down the center.
7
Using your hands, lift one edge of the mat and roll it tightly around the filling to create a complete sushi roll. Repeat this process with the remaining ingredients.
8
Using a sharp, wet knife, cut each roll into 4 to 6 slices.
