Homemade Sushi Recipe

Ingredients

For the Sushi Rice

  • 400 g sushi rice
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • Salt to taste

For the Fillings

  • 10 nori sheets
  • ½ cucumber, cut into sticks
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 150 g smoked salmon or sashimi
  • 150 g tuna sashimi (optional)
  • 50 g Philadelphia cream cheese (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Pickled ginger, for serving
  • Wasabi, for serving
  • Soy sauce, for serving

Equipment

  • Sushi mat (makisu)
  • Sharp knife

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Rice:
  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a pot, add the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 more minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Incorporate this mixture into the cooked rice and let cool.
  1. Preparing the Fillings:
  1. While the rice is cooling, prepare your fillings: cut the cucumber, avocados, and fish into sticks.
  1. Assembling the Sushi:
  1. Place a nori sheet on the sushi mat, shiny side down.
  2. Wet your hands to prevent the rice from sticking. Spread an even layer of rice on the nori sheet, leaving about 2 cm at the top.
  3. Add a line of fillings (cucumber, avocado, salmon/tuna) in the center of the rice.
  4. If using Philadelphia cream cheese, add it as well.
  1. Rolling the Sushi:
  1. Using the mat, start rolling the sushi while squeezing tightly. Roll until the top edge (without rice) is reached.
  2. Lightly moisten this edge with a bit of water to seal the roll.
  1. Cutting and Serving:
  1. Use a sharp knife to cut the roll into pieces about 2 cm thick.
  2. Arrange the sushi on a plate and serve with pickled ginger, wasabi, and soy sauce.
