Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 4 sheets of nori seaweed
- Assorted fillings (e.g., crab meat, avocado, cucumber, salmon)
- Soy sauce and wasabi for serving
Step 1: Prepare the Sushi Rice
Start by washing the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Then, cook the rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, let it cool for a few minutes and then season it with sushi vinegar.
Step 2: Prepare the Fillings
While the rice is cooking, prepare your assorted fillings. You can choose a combination of ingredients such as crab meat, avocado, cucumber, and salmon. Slice them into thin strips so they can easily fit into the sushi rolls.
Step 3: Place Nori on a Bamboo Mat
Take a bamboo sushi mat and place a sheet of nori seaweed on top of it.
Step 4: Spread Sushi Rice on Nori
Wet your hands with water to prevent the rice from sticking. Take a handful of sushi rice and place it on the nori. Spread the rice evenly, leaving a small border at the top.
Step 5: Add Fillings to the Rice
Place your chosen fillings in a line across the center of the rice, avoiding overfilling to prevent roll breakage.
Step 6: Roll the Sushi
Using the bamboo mat, start rolling the sushi by lifting the mat and gently pressing the ingredients together. Roll until the edge of the nori meets the rice border. Apply gentle pressure to ensure a tight roll.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
Once the roll is complete, use a sharp knife to slice it into bite-sized pieces. Repeat the steps to make more sushi rolls with different fillings. Serve the uramaki sushi rolls with soy sauce and wasabi.
