Start by preparing sushi rice according to package instructions. Use a rice cooker for best results. Let the rice cool to room temperature before using.
Place a sheet of nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Spread a thin layer of rice evenly over the nori, leaving a small border at the top. Add your fillings in a line.
Gather fresh ingredients like sushi-grade fish, avocado, cucumber, and nori sheets. Slice the ingredients into thin strips for easy rolling.
Using the bamboo mat, roll the sushi tightly from the bottom, applying gentle pressure to shape it. Wet the top border of nori to seal the roll.
Slice the sushi roll into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Clean the knife between cuts for clean slices. Serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
Practice makes perfect! Experiment with different fillings and rolling techniques to create your perfect homemade sushi. Enjoy the delicious results of your sushi-making skills!
