Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cook the 2 cups sushi rice according to package directions, then let it cool slightly until warm but not hot, about 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, mix the 3 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt until dissolved. Fold this into the warm rice, then let it cool to room temperature.

  3. Step 3

    Slice the 8 oz fish into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide. Cut each of the 4 nori sheets in half crosswise.

  4. Step 4

    Place a nori half on a bamboo mat or your palm. Spread a thin layer of rice over the nori, leaving a 1-inch strip at the top edge. Lay a few fish strips across the center.

  5. Step 5

    Roll tightly from the bottom, using the bare nori edge to seal. Slice each roll into 6 pieces and serve with soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger if you have them.

Tools you’ll need
