Homemade Sushi

Recipe View Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the water has been absorbed.

Recipe View While the rice is cooking, whisk together the rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the sugar and salt are dissolved. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Set aside to cool slightly. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Place the nori sheets on a baking sheet and warm them in the preheated oven for 1-2 minutes, or until they are pliable and fragrant. This step enhances their texture and flavor. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Place one nori sheet on a bamboo sushi mat. With wet hands, spread a thin, even layer of rice over the nori, leaving a small border at the top edge. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Arrange 1/4 of the crabmeat, avocado slices, cucumber strips, and pickled ginger horizontally across the center of the rice. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Using the bamboo mat, lift one end and roll it tightly over the filling, pressing gently to form a compact roll. Moisten the top edge of the nori with a little water to seal the roll completely. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Repeat with the remaining ingredients to create additional sushi rolls. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Using a sharp, wet knife, slice each roll into 4-6 equal pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy! (5 minutes)
